Faf du Plessis won the toss as Royal Challengers Bengaluru elected to bowl first against Gujarat Titans in the blockbuster IPL 2024 clash at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. With two crucial points up for grabs, Bengaluru made no changes to their starting eleven but Gujarat made two big changes to their team.
Irish pacer Joshua Little and Indian all-rounder Manav Suthar replaced Sai Kishore and Azmatullah Shahidi for the Titans.
“The talk is to win four in four,” Shubman Gill said. “It’s important to turn up and deliver our best. I feel our fielding has let us down. We have had a chat about it. We need to be a better team as a fielding unit. IPL is such a long tournament. It’s important to turn up on the day. We have two changes, Manav Suthar makes his debut and Josh Little comes in.”
