Analysis
Gujarat Titans gave the young 21-year-old Sai Sudharsan an opportunity to shine this IPL 2023 season and he has grabbed it with both hands. The rest of the batting line-up from GT has also been producing good results as a unit. In the bowling department, Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan have been the star performers and a massive reason as to why Gujarat team is in commanding position on the IPL points table.
Kolkata Knight Riders has been spearheaded by the Afghani international opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz, but the talk of the town as far as their batting lineup is none other than Shardul Thakur. He scored an exceptional fifty from nowhere to help KKR get out of a messy situation against RCB and ended up becoming the player of the match. Varun Chakravarthy has started the IPL 2023 season in a great manner with the ball for Kolkata, while the inclusion of young 19-year-old impact substitute Suyash Sharma has been a masterstroke from the team management.
