In Hardik Pandya’s absence, Rashid Khan will lead the team. The Afghanistan super star had stepped in for Pandya last season as well, leading the team in a couple of games.
Speaking at the toss, Rashid Khan brushed off any injury concerns Pandya had. He said, “Just unwell slightly, don’t want to take risks with him.”
He was not even part of the impact substitutes. The new rules allow teams to have a 12th player only play a part of the game, but GT skipper opted to rest and recuperate.
Gujarat Titans (Playing XI): Wriddhiman Saha(w), Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Abhinav Manohar, Rashid Khan(c), Mohammed Shami, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal
