It’s been a good journey in IPL 2022 for both these teams involved in today’s single header encounter. For one, we have Punjab Kings in action and they’ve been pretty decent this season so far with 2 wins in 3 games. Their last game saw them overpowering defending champions Chennai Super Kings by a massive margin of 54 runs, and they’ll bring all that confidence into this game today.
They’re taking on Gujarat Titans who are super inexperienced because it’s their debut IPL season. Additionally, they didn’t have the strongest team on paper after the IPL 2022 Auction, so it’s great to see them having won both their games so far in IPL 2022, currently the only unbeaten side in the league.

Numbers
- Head to head in the IPL, these two teams have never played.
- Bhanuka Rajapaksa’s scores so far this season – 43 (22), 31 (9), 9 (5).
Punjab Kings
It’s going to be a tough pill to swallow for Bhanuka Rajapaksa who was a substitute player for Jonny Bairstow in this side. However, with a good show so far from the Sri Lanka, I’d play him again and if he makes the cut, add him to your PBKS vs GT fantasy team. With scores of 19, 19, 60 so far in IPL 2022, Liam Livingstone has done great given his lack of experience in India, so he’s a must pick considering he bowls as well.
With 6 wickets in 3 games in IPL 2022, Rahul Chahar has been bowling beautifully, especially against left-handed batsmen. He’s a must have in your PBKS vs GT Dream11 team because he’s been getting wickets and has maintained a fantastic economy rate as well. Shikhar Dhawan is another player you can’t drop because of his unmatched consistency since IPL 2020, while Vaibhav Arora impressed on IPL debut and is worth picking too.
Gujarat Titans
After making a good start to his IPL 2022 campaign, Varun Aaron picked a small injury in the last game and if he doesn’t recover, Darshan Nalkande, Yash Dayal and Pradeep Sangwan are three Indian replacement options. However, the pacers list will be led by Lockie Ferguson who will extract a lot of pace and bounce from these pitches. Abhinav Manohar is a great T20 local talent who will show it to the world if given the chance to bat at #3 or #4.

Captain Hardik Pandya wouldn’t have originally made our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) PBKS vs GT fantasy team but with him bowling out his quota of 4 overs and batting higher up as well, he’s even a good pick for fantasy captain or vice-captain today. Shubman Gill has been providing the necessary stability at the top while Rashid Khan has dismissed Livingstone thrice in the past, so he’s a worthy pick as well.
