In this article, we will discuss the Top 3 players to watch out for in the PBKS vs GT clash in IPL 2024. The 2nd match tomorrow will be between the PBKS and the GT. The Indian Premier League (IPL) is now halfway finished, and it’s time for the payback Sunday to begin. The second match tomorrow will be between the Punjab Kings (PBKS) and the Gujarat Titans (GT). The last time these two sides met, it was a high-scoring thriller which saw PBKS surprising the 2022 champions by winning the game by 3 wickets with just one ball to spare.
Even though that was one of the biggest victories for the Kings, the same cannot be said about their position on the points table, where they are currently in 9th position. Speaking of GT, it hasn’t been the best of seasons for them either as they are currently 8th on the table and have faced a disappointing loss against the Delhi Capitals in their last fixture. With the game coming up, it is time to pick our top three players to watch out for in this encounter, which this time will be hosted by PBKS at Mullanpur Chandigarh.
Here are the three players that we all should watch out for in the upcoming game:
3. Shashank Singh (PBKS):
Shashank Singh has so far been one of the upcoming talents in the PBKS side who has impressed everyone with the bat already. He was also the man of the match in the previous encounter featuring the two sides. Shashank has so far scored 187 runs in the 7 games he has played and has been striking at close to 180 this season. He has been one of the silver linings in the struggling PBKS batting lineup and has already shown his ability to change the game with the bat in hand.
2. Shubman Gill (GT):
The Gujarat skipper may not be at his consistent best like last season, but he has still shown that he can play the big innings when needed. He was also the best batter in the side in the last encounter against the Kings. He has still managed to produce great numbers with the bat this season, scoring 263 runs at an average of 43.83, and is the top scorer in his side. This will be another opportunity for Gill to play another captain’s knock against a now struggling PBKS side.
1. Ashutosh Sharma (PBKS):
Speaking of silver linings in the PBKS batting lineup, Shashank is not the only one who has given great runs with the bat. It is the young Madhya Pradesh batter Ashutosh Sharma who has been one of the iconic performers for his side in the last few encounters. Ashutosh has impressed everyone with his explosive batting, able to strike big hits on all parts of the ground. He has already been striking over 200 this season. Seeing how he almost got his side over the line last game, the GT bowlers will want to plan on how to make this young batter quiet in the upcoming fixture.
