The middle-order firepower of RCB will make GT, in dire need of a complete overhaul, nervous. Even though he had a slow start to the season, Patidar has shown glimpses of his batting ability, especially when facing spinners.

Digital Desk: In Indian Premier League (IPL) match number 45 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the focus will be on Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill as Gujarat Titans (GT) take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). RCB is at the bottom of the table, and GT needs their pacers to step up. With eight points from nine games, the Titans are currently ranked seventh.

During this IPL season, their fast bowling unit has not impressed. Backup quicks like Spencer Johnson and Azmatullah Omarzai have also not given much confidence. Mohit Sharma (10 wickets, economy: 10.35), Umesh Yadav (7 wickets, 10.55), and Sandeep Warrier (5 wickets, 10.85) have also given up runs in large numbers.

The middle-order firepower of RCB will make GT, in dire need of a complete overhaul, nervous. Even though he had a slow start to the season, Patidar has shown glimpses of his batting ability, especially when facing spinners.

The match will start at 3.30 pm.
