Two teams who underperformed last season gear up again. Gujarat, normally a good side, had a change in leadership last season and this season they did go through a revamp of sorts with David Miller now in the side anymore. Punjab as usual did yet another restructure in this time come in with some really good names. Shreyas Iyer comes in as skipper after an amazing 12 months while Glenn Maxwell returns for a third stint with the Kings along with Marcus Stoinis.

Average Score Batting First in the last five games: 170
Average Score Batting Second in the last five games: 213

With slightly shorter boundaries, dew a factor in the northern parts of India and an easier track to bat on, Batting second remains a favourable choice.

Shubman Gill
Gujarat are clearly a bowling heavy team and that is where their batters are left with a large responsibility. They do not look to solid in the middle and are definitely short a batter but that is where the top order in Gill an Buttler will be important. Gill in particular will be clear in his approach knowing he has the bowling attack to defend totals.
Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer has been out of the T20I side for a while. He has had a good year though across formats and now will be looking to show that he can make the number three spot his own in the shortest format.
Both teams do look shaky to start but the bowling fire power of Gujarat could make a show in the tournament, which has been one dominated by batters normally.
