Firstly, Gujarat Titans, positioned seventh in the current standings are encountering uncertainties throughout this season. Despite their previous consecutive appearances in the finals, their performance has faltered resulting in losses in 5 out of 9 matches.
The absence of key player Mohammad Shami has worsened the team’s challenges. And the slowed-down performance of Rashid Khan who has been hindered by injury. These factors have significantly impacted the overall performance and morale of the team.
Additionally, their batting lineup has been inconsistent with only Shubman Gill, Sai Sudarshan, and David Miller performing well.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have ended their seven-match winless streak with an impressive 35-run victory against SunRisers Hyderabad in their last match. However, their overall poor performance has left them at the bottom of the IPL standings. Qualifying for the playoffs seems unlikely for RCB unless they win all their remaining matches and do some calculations. While their batting has shown promise, with Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik performing well.
