GT vs PBKS Live Score: Here’s what Shubman Gill said at the toss

We would have bowled, it looks like an even wicket. In the first year we played them, we played them twice. We have started off pretty well, we have got couple of games on the road after this, games on the road are important. Last year, we played away from home. Miller misses out due to a niggle and Kane comes into the side.

GT vs PBKS Live Score: Here’s what Shikhar Dhawan said at the toss

We are gonna bowl first, I feel it’s a good wicket and it will stay the same, we will prefer chasing. I don’t think every game is gonna be like that, we will score runs. I think we are playing decent cricket, it’s early days in the tournament, we are going to play better. Livi goes out and Sikandar Raza comes into the side.

GT vs PBKS Live Score: Big update on Livingstone

“I won’t judge myself on my performances so far, my mindset is the same. The position I bat in, I have to keep a setback in my mind because I won’t be able to execute my plans every time. But, I think that I will be good in my process and hopefully, everything will work out well. I think Livingstone won’t be able to make it to the team tonight due to his injury, let’s see,” informed Jitesh Sharma before the toss. 

GT vs PBKS Live Score: Pitch report

“We are the centre pitch. 63m square boundaries, 70m straight hit. We are Pitch No. 6. We were here 4 times last season and in those 4 matches three of them were won by the chasing team. So I expect that to come into play tonight at the toss. This pitch has black and red soil, a mixture of both. It’s rock hard and has 3mm of grass on it so I expect to have good pace and bounce so I expect plenty of runs tonight. GT have 8 out of 12 games here,” reckons WV Raman and Simon Katich. 

GT vs PBKS Live Score: Big concerns for PBKS

Punjab Kings will also have to deal with the accuracy of the incomparable Rashid Khan and the guile of Noor Ahmed, former’s left-arm alter-ego. The third Afghan in the line-up, Azmatullah Omarzai’s all-round skills will also be a challenge for the team. More than Punjab’s batting, it is their bowling, especially at the death, that has been a cause for concern.

GT vs PBKS Live Score: All eyes on Mohit Sharma

Gujarat Titans pacer Mohit Sharma uses knuckle balls, slow bouncers and wide yorkers to good effect and this year’s IPL trend has shown that save Mayank, all speedsters, who have been able to take pace off their deliveries, have been more successful. It will pose a different kind of challenge for the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow and Jitesh Sharma, all of whom like the ball to come on to the bat.
