Team news and Impact Player strategy

The Gujarat Titans, known for their varied player selections with 23 players utilized in the tournament so far, are possibly finding stability after a convincing recent victory. The combination of B Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill at the top has proven effective, possibly retaining their partnership even with the availability of Wriddhiman Saha. Depending on the pitch conditions, either R Sai Kishore or Sandeep Warrier may feature as a strategic substitution for Sai Sudharsan.

Likely XII for Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill (capt), B Sai Sudharsan, M Shahrukh Khan, David Miller, Matthew Wade (wk), Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, Umesh Yadav, Mohit Sharma, Kartik Tyagi, with Sandeep Warrier or R Sai Kishore as potential additions.

Meanwhile, the Kolkata Knight Riders, who recently saw Vaibhav Arora replace Nitish Rana, may continue with similar tactical changes. Additionally, the inclusion of Gurbaz for Salt could be on the cards, although it might be reserved for a later stage.

Likely XII for Kolkata Knight Riders: Phil Salt or Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Sunil Narine, Nitish Rana, Shreyas Iyer (capt), Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Mitchell Starc, Varun Chakravarthy, Harshit Rana, with Vaibhav Arora as a potential change.
