Their recent success has been built on balance across all departments. Gujarat’s bowling attack clicked at just the right time, with Kagiso Rabada and Jason Holder producing match-winning performances time and again. Rashid Khan is also starting to look dangerous again after a quiet first phase of the tournament.
Along with the bowling, GT’s batting has been steady throughout the season. Sai Sudharsan continues to score heavily and after winning the Orange Cap last year is again among the top run-scorers in the competition.
Shubman Gill also looks comfortable at the crease while Washington Sundar has quietly played important innings in the middle order. GT’s focus is no longer just qualification but a top-two finish, giving teams an extra shot at the playoffs. Against a struggling KKR side, Gujarat will be out on their own to continue their winning streak.
