Gujarat Titans Team Analysis
Gujarat Titans is going pretty balanced in this IPL. The team has reached finals both times which is definitely a confidence booster for the team. Despite not having Hardik Pandya as their skipper their previous experience will help them to sail smoothly. Moreover, the coach Ashish Nehra is guiding Shubhman Gill very well as we have seen in between the matches.
The batting lineup is pretty strong for a team which is just 2 years old. Players like Gill, Saha, Sai Sudharshan, Omarzai, David Miller, Umesh Yadav. Rashid Khan, Spencer Johnson, and many more add a huge experience and skill to the team. Collaboratively, Gujarat Titans is a good team but is it good enough to win Title and Time will tell.
However, to pave the way till the finals the team need to have a strong bowling lineup. After withdrawal of Mohammad Shami will be a huge loss to the team. The team also added some new player in the bowling lineup Spencer Johnson, Shahrukh Khan, Umesh Yadav, Robin Minz, Manav Suthar, and Azmatuallah Omarzai.
Lucknow Super Giants Team Analysis
The start for Lucknow Super Giants was not quite good but from the second match they comeback and what a energetic performance the team has given. As per the IPL’s latest news, They introduced a new player named “Mayank Yadav“. He won “Player of the match consecutively in two matches and became the 4th fastest bowler in the history of IPL.
The batting lineup of the Lucknow Super Giants is very aggressive including KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock, Kyle Mayers, and Nicholas Pooran. Each one of them has the ability to turn around the match but the team wins when there is a collaborative effort. The bowling lineup of Lucknow Super Kings consist of Mohsin Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, Naveen-ul-Haq, Mayank Yadav, Krunal Pandya, Ayush Badoni, and Yash Thakur.
But the weakness for Lucknow lies in the bowling department especially in death overs pacers and middle overs spinners. This will help the Lucknow Super Giants to thrive in the IPL 2024 and probably they will be able to compete in the finals too.
