Table-toppers Gujarat Titans (GT) will be looking to continue their stellar run in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 when they lock horns with Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. Debutants GT are currently on a winning streak of five matches in the league having suffered only one defeat in the season so far.

Hardik Pandya & Co.'s only loss in the tournament so far has come against Sunrisers Hyderabad where they had failed to defend a target of 163 runs. Ever since the defeat, GT have been enjoying a dominant run in the tournament and have pulled off some miraculous run-chases to remain on the top of the points table.

While there are still glaring issues in their batting line-up, Gujarat Titans have one of the best bowling attacks in the tournament this year. The likes of Mohammed Shami, Rashid Khan and Alzarri Joseph have all been among the wickets while young uncapped pacer Yash Dayal has also impressed.
