IPL 2024: Predicting Gujarat Titans’ Playing XI for their clash against Punjab Kings

In this article, we will discuss the IPL 2024 Predicting Gujarat Titans’ Playing XI for their clash against Punjab Kings. IPL 2022 winners, Gujarat Titans haven’t had the best of seasons so far. After playing seven games, the team has managed only three wins. They are in the eighth position for the first time in their history. With three wins and a balanced squad, the team has a chance to make a comeback if they get their playing XI right and execute their plans.

So far, the team has looked out of touch and recently, lost to Delhi Capitals but a big margin. The 2020 finalists seem to be waking up from their slumber after their slow start. Meanwhile, the former champions have a few issues regarding the non-performing assets that they let go of in the last game.

Ahead of the upcoming game between the Titans and the Kings, let’s predict the playing XI of the Ahmedabad-based team.

Predicted Playing XI of Gujarat Titans against Punjab Kings

1. Top-order

Skipper Shubman Gill might open with Wriddhiman Saha, as they did in the last game as the latter returned from injury. Saha will keep wickets as well. Given the kind of surface in Mullanpur, Kane Williamson might be a better choice than Sai Sudarshan, who has trouble short-bowling above waist.

2. Middle-order and all-rounders

The likes of Abhinav Manohar and Shahrukh Khan can play as middle-order batters. They haven’t got many chances but have the potential to do well. Azmatullah Omarzai can play as an all-rounder alongside Rashid Khan, who is an unofficial all-rounder in the team.

3. Bowlers

Noor Ahmed alongside Khan is a definite starter because they are legging, the ground is bigger and they will get some help too. Apart from him, Mohit Sharma, Spencer Johnson, and Sandeep Warrior are likely to play
