Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Royal Challengers Bangalore:

• Virat Kohli has scored fifties in both of his innings against Gujarat Titans in the IPL. Kohli also amassed a magnificent century in the last game. Another good outing is well on the cards.
• Faf du Plessis is in the form of his life. He is the leading run-scorer (702) in IPL 2023. Faf has an average of 58.50 and a strike rate of 153.95 with the willow this season.
• Glenn Maxwell has 253 runs at an average of 50.60 and a strike rate of 194.61 in Bengaluru in IPL 2023. The Aussie batter has also amassed three fifties here.
• Michael Bracewell is a utility player who can contribute with both bat and ball. GT will have three LHBs in the top six, which increases the value of his off-spin. If required, Bracewell can also hit the ball long.
• Mohammed Siraj is going through his best IPL season. He has 17 wickets at an average of 20.17 and a strike rate of 16.23 in IPL 2023. Expect him to have another good game with the ball.

Gujarat Titans:

• Shubman Gill has 576 runs at an average of 48 and a strike rate of 146.19 in IPL 2023. He also amassed a tremendous century in the last game. Gill will look to add more to his tally at a surface known to assist the batters.
• Gill has scored 40 off 27 against Siraj without dismissal.
• Sai Sudharsan has scored runs almost every time he has been provided with an opportunity. In IPL 2023, Sai has 223 runs at an average of 44.60 and a strike rate of 125.28 in the six innings.
• Hardik Pandya hasn’t performed according to the expectations with both bat and ball this season. However, the Bengaluru surface will suit him and will look to get back in form before the all-important playoffs.
• David Miller has 324 runs at an average of 29.45 and a strike rate of 161.19 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL. He is another player who will look to have some runs under his belt before the crucial coming games.
• Rashid Khan is the biggest match-winner in the T20 cricket. He has 14 wickets at a strike rate of 20.57 and an economy rate of 7.45 against Royal Challengers Bangalore. His batting expertise can also be more than handy.
• Mohammed Shami has been GT’s biggest wicket-taker in IPL 2023. He has 23 wickets at a strike rate of 13.30 and an economy rate of 7.54 this season. GT would want him to dismiss a few RCB batters early on.
