Gujarat Titans will have to accomplish a massive task

Sai Sudharsan, who performed terrifically well in the previous season for the Gujarat Titans, will have to take responsibility for rotating the strike according to the asking rate. GT's fortune in the match will be heavily dependent on the batter, as well as the top order of Gujarat's batting unit.
