Pitch Report
Analysis
The Gujarat Titans remain a formidable force under new captain Shubman Gill in the 2024 season despite the departure of Hardik Pandya and the injury to Mohammed Shami. Thanks to their bowling attack, GT have maximised their home conditions, who have dominated in each phase of the game. But their batting may emerge as a problem with Gill not seeming fluent in the first three games of the season.
On the other hand, Punjab Kings have seemingly lost their way after winning their first game of the IPL 2024. The Punjab bowling has looked great with Sam Curran finding top form but leg spinner Rahul Chahar’s lack of wickets could be a major problem with the side. Similarly in the batting department, no player, barring Shikhar Dhawan, has failed to score runs at a consistent rate, leading to more issues for the Kings.
