Gujarat Titans :
Hardik-led Gujarat Titans are the current table-toppers of the season. They have secured 8 wins in 9 games and are on the verge of qualification. It’s just a matter of two wins for the Titans to become the first team to qualify for the playoffs this season. Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill contributed at the start while Hardik, Miller, and Tewatia did the rest. Not to forget that Rashid Khan has also rewarded two victories with the bat single-handedly for the franchise.
Hardik has been phenomenal from the start of the season while the bowling department of Gujarat Titans is the best among all franchises. They have Shami, Alzzari, and Ferguson on their side while Rashid is also there as their main spinning option. So, they will obviously start as the favorites of this game against Punjab Kings.

Punjab Kings :
On the other hand, Punjab Kings are trailing on the points table securing only 8 points in nine games so far. In order to be in the qualification race, they have to win each and every game from here onwards. We have seen several changes in the playing xi of the side that caused damage in many games. However, Rishi Dhawan is back again in the squad after a gap of 6 years as he played the last two games. It will be a very tough challenge for Gabbar and Mayank to defeat the in-form Gujarat Titans here at the DY Patil on Tuesday.
