GT Playing 11: The table-toppers Gujarat Titans have already booked the top spot on the points table. They will now play their last league game against a depleted Royal Challengers Bangalore who is still on the hunt for a playoff berth.
Gujarat Titans have had the most significant journey in this year’s Tata IPL. They kicked start their campaign with three wins on the bounce before facing their first defeat at the hands of SRH. However, that loss didn’t affect their momentum much as they went on to register five wins on the bounce and almost certainly a playoffs berth. They now stand atop the points table and most probably will finish the league stage at the top.
Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bangalore haven’t faced each other ever. This would be their first meeting in IPL history.

Gujarat Titans might rest some of their top players. Gujarat Titans have already made the playoffs and they are certain of finishing the league stage at the top. Titans have been consistent throughout the season and would look to carry on with the same momentum. However, the management might look to give rest to some of their top players including Mohammad Shami, Alzarri Joseph, and even skipper Hardik Pandya who has been struggling with his back.
The likes of Darshan Nalkande, Lockie Ferguson, and Vijay Shankar could come into the eleven if the management rests some of their top players.
