GT vs PBKS IPL 2024 Match 17: Who Won The Toss & What's The Playing 11?

Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan won the toss and opted to bowl first against Gujarat Titans in match 17 of IPL 2024 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday (April 4).

Kings, who come into the match on the back of two successive losses, were forced into one change as Liam Livingstone's hamstring injury has ruled him out of the match. Sikandar Raza replaces Livingstone in a like-for-like replacement for the Kings.

Similarly, Shubman Gill-led GT, who have won two and lost one, also made one change due to a niggle to David Miller with Kane Williamson coming into the Titans line up as both skippers made the announcement during the toss.

After opting to bowl first, PBKS captain Dhawan said: "I feel it's a good wicket and it will stay the same, we will prefer chasing. In some of the games, the score has been very high but it's not going to be that way every game because the teams are very good.

On performance so far and team news, Dhawan added: "I think we are playing decent cricket, it's early days in the tournament, we are going to play better. Livi goes out and Sikandar Raza comes into the side."

Meanwhile, Gill said: "We would have bowled, it looks like an even wicket, it's been a bit overcast so hopefully there will be no dew. We have started off pretty well, we have got couple of games on the road after this, games on the road are important.

"Last year, we played away from home pretty well. Miller misses out due to a niggle and Kane comes into the side," Gill confirmed the team news.
