Despite Shikhar Dhawan, who carried his bat and finished with a knock of 99 runs against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab Kings (PBKS) failed to register their third consecutive win in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season.

Next up, they are set to host defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT), who conceded five sixes in the final over to lose their last match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Thus, both teams will be gunning to make an emphatic return when they face each other at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on April 13.

When it comes to Gujarat, skipper Hardik Pandya is set to make his return to the playing XI while Liam Livingstone will also be available for Punjab. Notably, Vijay Shankar and Sai Sudharsan’s form will boost Gujarat’s chances of winning the match while Kagiso Rabada is very likely to play his first game of the season.

PBKS vs GT Probable Best Performers

Probable best batter

Shikhar Dhawan:

PBKS skipper Shikhar Dhawan is currently at the top of the IPL 2023 Orange Cap list, with 225 runs to his name in three matches. He is in brilliant form, to say the least, and all he needs right now is some support from the middle-order batters. He will be very crucial against Gujarat and can eventually decide the fate of the match.

Probable best bowler

Rashid Khan:

Spin wizard Rashid Khan picked up a brilliant hat-trick in the last match and completely changed the complexion of the game. Now, even though GT lost, Rashid looked impressive and if he manages to continue in the same manner, PBKS batters may be in trouble.
