Sai Sudharsan: Sai Sudharsan has had a very good start to his 2023 season. He looked in great touch with the bat last time Gujarat played in Ahmedabad in the opening game but couldn’t convert it into a big innings. However, the left hander scored a brilliant unbeaten 62 in the very next game to win second games in a row for Gujarat. He will once again have a great chance to outscore his teammates in this match.
Shubman Gill: Shubman Gill has an average of 95.3 in this format at this venue. In five games, he has 286 runs, including one century and a half century. Moreover, he scored a brilliant 36-ball 63 against Chennai Super Kings in the last game at this venue.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz: Rahmanullah Gurbaz will be another player to watch out for. It has been a great start for the Afghan wicket-keeper with the bat in his maiden IPL season. He looked in great touch on both the occasions he batted so far. Moreover, he bats at the top of the order and is coming on the back of a brilliant half century against RCB.
Alzarri Joseph: Alzarri Joseph is definitely one of the top probables to emerge as the top wicket-taker in this match. In two games, he has 4 wickets at an average of 15.50. He will most likely bowl his majority of the overs in the middle overs. In addition, KOL was the worst team while batting against seamers in the middle overs last year.
Shardul Thakur: Shardul Thakur will be a player to watch out with the ball in this match. He has not made much of an impact with the ball in this tournament with the ball but is expected to come good in this match. The dimensions of the ground helps Thakur to bowl according to his strength. He has eight wickets at this venue at a strike rate of 13 in T20Is for India.
Rashid Khan: Rashid Khan will be another bowler who can emerge as the top wicket taker from this match. KOL weakness against leg spinners can assure that Rashid will not go wicketless in this match. In addition, looking at the kind of bowling Gujarat possess, Rashid is most likely going to bowl in the eight overs of the innings which only increases his chances to take more wickets.
