Three Match-winners for Gujarat Titans
Sai Sudharsan
The Indian top-order batter has been in good form in IPL 2024. B Sai Sudharsan has scored 226 runs in the tournament from six innings.
Besides the form, Sai Sudharsan did well against DC in his only game. He scored 62 runs off 48 balls in the game, and that will give him the confidence to be impactful as a batter in this match.
Rashid Khan
Rashid Khan is going through a lean phase with the ball in IPL 2024. He has struggled with rhythm and has yet to be as impactful as expected.
However, Rashid Khan has an excellent record against DC. In 11 games against DC, Rashid has picked up 18 wickets while giving away runs at an economy of just 5.64. Rashid's average and strike are 13.80 and 14.70, respectively, against DC. So, this could be the day when Rashid regains his form with the ball and comes up as the match-winner for the team.
Mohit Sharma
The Indian medium pacer started off the tournament on a great note. But in the last couple of games, Sharma has lost a bit of rhythm.
However, Sharma's record at the Narendra Modi Stadium is brilliant. In 10 matches at this venue, Mohit Sharma has picked up 26 wickets while having an economy of 7.81. At the venue, he has an average and a strike rate of 10.60 and 8.20, respectively. Sharma also did well in the only game that he played against DC. He has picked up two wickets for 33 runs from four overs.
