Gurbaz and Moeen replace the South African duo of Quinton de Kock and Anrich Nortje, while young Angkrish Raghuvanshi is expected to be used as an Impact Player during the chase. “The pitch looks on the drier side, and when we bowl, we want to see how it is behaving,” said Rahane at the toss.
“This is a chasing ground. We had a good discussion after the last game. The players are working really hard, and there’s a strong motivation to climb the table. I’m feeling positive about all the players, and I’m not too worried about the middle-order,” he added.
GT skipper Shubman Gill, meanwhile, dismissed any concerns about dew playing a factor. “I don’t think there will be any dew, so it should be a good game. The way we’ve been bowling has been impressive, especially with our wicket-taking contributions. Rashid Khan brings an incredible skill set with his bowling, and that’s been a major plus for us,” he said.
