AHMEDABAD: Six days after Royal Challengers Bengaluru chased down 206 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Gujarat Titans face the defending champions again, this time at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday, still looking for answers to familiar problems.GT have four wins and four losses from eight games, but their mid-table finish doesn’t fully hide the imbalance in their campaign. Their top three – Shubman Gill, B Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler – remain their main source of runs. Sai’s century in Bengaluru and a stand with Gill put GT 205/3, but even that was not enough as RCB won by five wickets with seven balls to spare.

Vijay Dahiya on Virat Kohli’s mindset and why experience still matters.This result underlined the pressure on GT’s middle order. Washington Sundar has offered some stability while Jason Holder has been used to add depth, but the tight end roles have yet to be resolved. Against an RCB attack led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood, GT cannot afford another innings built almost entirely on the top order.RCB arrive in stronger form, with six wins from eight matches and momentum from their nine-wicket win over Delhi Capitals. In that game, Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar shared seven wickets as Delhi were bowled out for 75. If the pair remove Gill, Sudharsan or Buttler early, GT’s middle order will face its toughest test yet.Another concern for the Titans is their bowling after the powerplay. Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada often gave them a good start but GT struggled to control the middle and death overs.The RCB bat was more flexible. Virat Kohli, Jacob Bethell and Devdutt Padikkal give them options at the top while Rajat Patidar, Jitesh Sharma, Tim David and Krunal Pandya bolster the middle order.
