Virat Kohli is expected to hit the most fours in the next game. He is currently the top run-getter of the tournament, having notched 430 runs from 9 games at an average of 61.42 and a strike-rate of 145.76 with 3 fifties and a hundred against Rajasthan Royals (RR) to his name. He has hit 40 fours so far.
Rashid Khan is expected to be the standout bowler in the upcoming game between the Titans and the Challengers. In 9 games, Rashid has taken 8 wickets at an economy rate of 7.44. Although he has not been in wicket-taking form, he has the potential to pose a huge threat to the opposition.
Gujarat Titans (GT) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will lock horns in the 45th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Saturday, April 27. The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will host the contest.
The Titans, led by Shubman Gill, are sitting in the bottom half of the table. They have 8 points and a net run rate of -0.974 courtesy of wins in 4 out of 9 games. They will look to get back to winning ways after losing to the Delhi Capitals (DC) by 4 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Sandeep Warrier picked up 3 wickets for 15 runs, but the Capitals set a mammoth target of 225 for their opponents to chase down. Sai Sudharsan and David Miller scored 65 and 55, respectively, but their efforts went in vain. With 19 runs needed off the last over, GT fell short by a whisker.
RCB, captained by Faf du Plessis, on the other hand, are struggling at the bottom of the table with 4 points and a net run rate of -0.721. They need something extraordinary from here on to advance to the playoffs. However, the fact that they beat the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Thursday should keep them in a positive frame of mind.
After batting first, RCB put up a huge score of 206 for 7 on the back of half-centuries from Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar. Thereafter, they restricted SRH to 171 for 8. Swapnil Singh, Karn Sharma and Cameron Green picked up 2 wickets apiece to keep RCB’s hopes alive in the tournament.
The Challengers and the Titans have faced each other 3 times in T20 cricket. Out of them, the Titans have won 2 times while RCB finished on the winning side only once. In their previous meeting, GT beat RCB by 6 wickets at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
In their previous game, GT beat RCB by 6 wickets. Shubman Gill won the Player of the Match award after he scored an unbeaten 104 off 52 balls with 5 fours and 8 sixes. On the back of his knock, GT chased down the target of 198 with 5 deliveries to spare.
