Players news
Will Jacks and Cameron Green have been in good form with the bat?
However, Glenn Maxwell is expected to remain unavailable due to his self-imposed exile.
Deploying Rashid Khan early in the powerplay could be a strategic move for the Gujarat Titans. Rashid has a remarkable track record against key batters: he has dismissed Faf du Plessis three times and Virat Kohli twice in previous IPL encounters.
While the spotlight will undoubtedly be on Virat Kohli as he faces the formidable spin trio, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) would be keen to ensure Rajat Patidar spends significant time at the crease against the spinners. Patidar has been in sensational form this season, boasting a remarkable strike rate of 225 against spinners.
