The Titans will be pleased with how the team performed against the “Rajasthan Royals.” The players managed to keep their nerves and play a thriller on the last ball, significantly boosting their confidence levels. Shubman Gill led his team from the front, scoring 2 half-centuries in the last 3 innings. This made him the third highest run-scorer of the season. His opening partner Sai Sudharsan was equally consistent, averaging 37.66. The biggest weakness of the “Gujarat Titans” this season has been their middle-order batting. Despite having several impactful batsmen like David Miller, Vijay Shankar, and Rahul Tewatia, the team has often struggled to add runs during the middle overs. As for the bowling department, Mohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav will be key players for the team. The duo has collectively taken 15 wickets. They are likely to be supported by Spencer Johnson. The spin department is also quite strong thanks to the presence of Rashid Khan and Nura Ahmad.
After consecutive losses, the Delhi Capitals managed to turn things around on Friday, securing their first-ever victory against LSG. As a result, DC climbed from the bottom of the table to the 9th position. The team is expecting a strong start from Prithvi Shaw and David Warner. The duo made a couple of good shots, but they will need to be more consistent going forward. Jake Fraser-McGurk, making his IPL debut in the match against LSG, impressed by scoring 55 runs off 35 balls. His partnership of 77 runs with Rishabh Pant played a crucial role in securing a convincing victory for Delhi. Pant himself is in good form and is Delhi’s top scorer. Additionally, there are a couple of strong hitters lower down the order, including Shreyas Iyer and Tristan Staub, who can make important hits in the death overs. Khalil Ahmed is the leading wicket-taker in the D.C. area with 9 wickets, and he will be joined by Mukesh Kumar and Ishant Sharma in the seam department. Kuldeep Yadav bowled brilliantly in the last match, taking 3 wickets and leading the spin attack.
