Earlier, Rahul had to bat first as Gujarat won the toss. At the time of the toss, he also revealed that Lucknow was not playing four foreign players. Rahul says, “At Wankhede everyone wants to bowl first because dew plays a big role. The wicket stays the same throughout. We get to establish a legacy in a new franchise. Everyone comes with a new mindset. And wants to give his best.” We have three overseas players: Lewis, Quinton de Kock and Chamira.”
Equipped with aggressive all-rounders, Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants will be aiming to start their IPL campaign with a win in the match here on Monday. Gujarat could start with young Shubman Gill and Afghanistan batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who is also a wicket-keeper.
The pair can challenge any opposition attack but need to be careful of the bounce at the Wankhede Stadium. Gujarat will depend heavily on the performance of their captain Hardik Pandya, who has a lot of experience playing with Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede.
Known for his six-hitting skills, Hardik will have to take more responsibility with the bat this season and also bat higher up the order. And so is the case for Rahul Tewatia, who has to give up the IPL wonder tag of his one match. Tewatia has already said that he will have to take on more responsibility with Willow.
