The biggest challenge for Gujarat Titans will be to play and potentially win at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium which has been the fortress for the Royals. So far, The Titans have won four out of the five games against the Royals but this time around they have a different proposition.

Vijay Shankar
Shankar will slot in at five. He has been rather inconsistent for the Titans in the middle order but is still backed by the franchise. He scored a run-a-ball 17 against LSG.
