Bowlers: Mitchell Santner, Krish Bhagat, Jasprit Bumrah, AM Ghazanfar, Ashwani Kumar (Impact)

Mitchell Santner and AM Ghazanfar were excellent with the ball against the Gujarat Titans. They bagged two wickets each and maintained superb economy rates of 5.3 and 6, respectively. Debutant Krish Bhagat, however, bowled just two overs but failed to pick up a wicket despite bowling economically. Jasprit Bumrah finally got his first wicket in IPL 2026, finishing with figures of 1/15 in three overs. However, the pick of the bowlers in the last game was Ashwani Kumar, who bagged a four-for and gave away just 24 runs in his four-over spell.
