Gujarat Titans VS Punjab Kings Match highlights
Both sides Gujarat as well as Punjab have had to make a couple of significant changes due to injuries. PBKS have brought in Zimbabwe stalwart Sikandar Raza in the place of the injured Liam Livingston. GT, on the other hand, has brought in Kane Williamson with David Miller out injured.
Looking to build a winning streak, Gujarat Titans take on Punjab Kings in the 2024 season of the IPL in Ahmedabad on Thursday. The Shubman Gill-led side sealed a seven-wicket win against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous fixture and will be looking to build some momentum.
Meanwhile, Punjab will look to get back to winning ways and have lost in their previous two fixtures. Shikhar Dhawan and Co. lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore by four wickets and then crashed to a 21-run loss to Lucknow Super Giants.
Shubhman Gill’s Captaincy after Hardik Pandya
GT needs their captain to find some form. Last year’s Orange Cap winner, Gill has only managed 75 runs in three games this season, a huge distance from his lofty standards. Also, captaincy has increased the pressure on the opener, who replaced Hardik Pandya in that role.
Pandya rejoined Mumbai Indians in a shock transfer before the auction last year. Pandya had led GT to the title in their debut season, followed by a runners-up finish. So the pressure is massive on Gill, and he will need to contribute with the bat to silence his critics.
Veteran pacer Mohit Sharma rushed to his captain’s defense. Speaking ahead of the match, he said, “He is batting superbly. Yes, it is a fact that the stats have not been converted into big ones but he looks in superb rhythm. He is batting very well at the nets. A big knock from him not too far away.”
Meanwhile, Punjab will look to revive their campaign. Despite the presence of Arshdeep Singh and Harshal Patel, Punjab hasn’t been able to figure out their bowling strategy. even Rahul Chahar hasn’t been that effective. Dhawan will need to fix some issues in his tactics and hope for a better performance. In what will be a huge setback for PBKS, Liam Livingstone is expected to miss the match due to a hamstring injury.
