GUJ vs KOL Match Preview

Gujarat Titans' chances of qualifying for the playoffs in IPL 2024 are hanging by a thread. They have five wins and seven defeats in twelve matches so far. But they will draw confidence from their win over CSK in the last match. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan looked solid against CSK and if they can repeat their performance, it will be a huge bonus for the Titans. The middle order hasn't fired this season and they have experienced players like David Miller, Matthew Wade, and Rahul Tewatia who can be dangerous on the day. The bowling seems weak with the spearhead Rashid Khan not in the best form. GT will hope experienced bowlers like Mohit Sharma and Rashid Khan to step up.

Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders will be relaxed after confirming their qualification to the playoffs. They have an in-form batting line-up with the openers firing at the top. Venkatesh Iyer has shown good signs in the last few games while skipper Shreyas Iyer has been brilliant with his batting and captaincy so far. KKR have one of the best finishers in the tournament in the form of Andre Russell and Rinku Singh. On the bowling front, the eyes will be on Mitchell Starc and how he shapes up before the playoffs. The two mystery spinners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy have been brilliant and one of the reasons for KKR's success this season. They could be handy on this wicket.

Top Players for GUJ vs KOL Gamesys11 Fantasy Cricket Team

  • Sai Sudharsan - The left-hander scored a brilliant hundred in the last game against CSK. Sudharsan has been in great form throughout the season despite the other GT batters not at their best. He has scored 527 runs in 12 matches so far at an average of 47.90.

  • Sunil Narine - Narine is having a great time in this tournament, with both bat and ball. He has scored 461 runs in 12 matches so far at an average of 38.41. With the ball, he has picked up 15 wickets at an average of 20.80.

  • Varun Chakravarthy - Varun has been in superb form this season. He has picked up 18 wickets in just 12 games so far and is currently the third-highest wicket-taker of the season. He will fancy his chances against a fragile Titans middle order.

Top Captaincy picks

  • Shubman Gill - Another centurion for Gujarat Titans in the previous game, Shubman Gill, showed his class against Chennai when he smashed 104 runs off just 55 balls. He has the ability to score big once set. Gill has scored 426 runs in 12 matches so far at an average of 38.72 and a strike rate of 147.40.

  • Phil Salt - The wicketkeeper-batter has been scoring runs and at a good strike rate as well. Salt has the ability to take on the opposition bowlers from ball one. He has scored 435 runs in 12 matches so far at an average of 39.54 and a strike rate of 182.

Players to avoid

  • Rahul Tewatia - Tewatia has shown good form this season but is expected to bat lower down the order where he might not face enough balls to make an impact. He can be avoided for this game as he might not fetch many points.

  • Ramandeep Singh - The right-hander is known to smash big sixes but bats lower down the order at No. 8. He is unlikely to face many balls and might not make an impact. He can be avoided for this game.
