Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
Gujarat Titans embark on their campaign under the leadership of Shubman Gill, bolstered by key additions to their squad. The presence of Jos Buttler and Glenn Phillips enhances their overseas firepower, while Mohammed Siraj steps in as the team's new pace spearhead. Alongside them, domestic talents like Sai Sudharsan and Shahrukh Khan strengthen the lineup.
Rashid Khan remains a pivotal figure for GT, while Kagiso Rabada is also in contention for a starting spot. Considering the conditions at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the Titans might reinforce their spin attack by including Washington Sundar.
Punjab Kings, on the other hand, are looking to turn a new page under the expected leadership of Shreyas Iyer. Their squad features proven match-winners in Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell, though inconsistency has plagued them in past IPL campaigns. The addition of Yuzvendra Chahal brings invaluable experience to their bowling attack.
PBKS might also look to integrate young talent into their playing XI. Priyansh Arya, who has built a strong reputation, could be handed a debut, while Vishnu Vinod is likely to take up wicketkeeping duties. Additionally, Marco Jansen might be preferred over Afghanistan's Azmatullah Omarzai in the pace department.
