Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans, both struggling, seek to stop their losing streaks and return to winning ways in their IPL match in Mullanpur on April 21.
GT, previously champions, slipped to eighth place after an embarrassing home loss to Delhi Capitals, where they were dismissed for 89 runs. This marked their third loss in four matches.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) struggle in ninth place after a nine-run loss to Mumbai Indians, despite strong performances by Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank Singh. With five losses and two wins, PBKS face challenges, especially without captain Shikhar Dhawan due to injury. Key batters Prabhsimran Singh, Liam Livingstone, and Rilee Rossouw have underperformed, impacting the team. PBKS have found some hope in the lower-order performances of Shashank and Ashutosh.
Gujarat Titans (GT) boast quality players like captain Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, David Miller, and Rashid Khan, supported by key players such as Rahul Tewatia, Mohit Sharma, Wriddhiman Saha and Noor Ahmad. On the bowling front, the absence of Mohammad Shami has been detrimental, while Umesh Yadav has conceded many runs despite taking seven wickets.
