The skipper missed the previous game after bring ill while Rashid Khan donned the role of the captain on the former’s absence. GT shouldn’t be taking the loss to their chin, as they did nothing wrong. It was just a masterclass from Rinku Singh who slammed 5 consecutive sixes off the last over to seal the game for his side.
Gujarat are one of the most balanced sides in the tournament. In the previous game they went past the 200 run mark for the very first time, since their inception back in 2022.

The PBKS had a horrow show in their previous game against the Sunrisers when the team ended their innings on 143 with skipper Shikhar Dhawan remaining not out on 99 after 20 overs.
Things look pretty normal for Pandya and Co. Nothing out of the ordinary is needed as the GT are touted to be favorites against a struggling PBKS. Yash Dayal will have to overcome the ‘Rinku Singh Horror’ in the upcoming game, as the team looks well and ready to take the field.
