The bowling group of right-arm pacers Azmatullah Omarzai and <!-- -->Umesh Yadav<!-- --> and Afghan pacers <!-- -->Rashid Khan<!-- -->, Noor Ahmed and veteran pacer Mohit Sharma will look to test the Kings. <br \/>After opening their campaign with a victory over Delhi Capitals courtesy knocks from Englishmen Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone, the Kings will feel they were hard done by Dinesh Karthik of Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Yadav of Giants. In both the contests, they were in promising positions before Karthik\u2019s cameo took the game away from them in Bengaluru, while against LSG, chasing 200, the Kings bottled up despite a 100- run opening association between captain Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow. <br \/>Losing three wickets in the middle overs derailed the chase, something which their assistant bowling coach Trevor Gonsalves zeroed in on as an area for improvement. \u201cWe were cruising. It was the three wickets that fell in the bunch due to which we were slow. So, we are solving out those issues,\u201d Gonsalves said on Wednesday. <br \/>The availability of Livingstone, who came to bat lower down his usual batting position against LSG because of a hamstring injury, continues to doubtful on match eve. Gonsalves said a call on Livingstone will be only taken on the matchday. <br \/>While the Kings\u2019 bowling attack of pacers Kagiso Rabada (4 wickets in 3 matches), Sam Curran and Arshdeep Singh (4 wickets in 3 matches) and left-arm spinner Harpreet Brar (4 wickets in 3 matches) has stifled the opposition, runs leaked by Harshal Patel and Rahul Chahar are a matter of concern. Regarding this, Gonsalves said, \u201cNot really concerned. They are top-class players whether it is Harshal or Rahul. They have gone through a lot of situations where they have been hit. They will come back very strongly.\u201d<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n          var s = document.createElement('script');\n          s.src=\"https:\/\/survey.survicate.com\/workspaces\/0be6ae9845d14a7c8ff08a7a00bd9b21\/web_surveys.js\";\n          s.async = true;\n          var e = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];\n          e.parentNode.insertBefore(s, e);\n        })(window);\n      }\n    }\n    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n    var TimesApps = window.TimesApps;\n    TimesApps.toiPlusEvents = function(config) {\n      var isConfigAvailable = \"toiplus_site_settings\" in f && \"isFBCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings && \"isGoogleCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings;\n      var isPrimeUser = window.isPrime;\n      if (isConfigAvailable && !isPrimeUser) {\n        loadGtagEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n        loadFBEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isFBCampaignActive);\n        loadSurvicateJs(f.toiplus_site_settings.allowedSurvicateSections);\n      } else {\n        var JarvisUrl=\"https:\/\/vsp1jarvispvt.indiatimes.com\/v1\/feeds\/toi_plus\/site_settings\/643526e21443833f0c454615?db_env=published\";\n        window.getFromClient(JarvisUrl, function(config){\n          if (config) {\n            loadGtagEvents(config?.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n            loadFBEvents(config?.isFBCampaignActive);\n            loadSurvicateJs(config?.allowedSurvicateSections);\n          }\n        })\n      }\n    };\n  })(\n    window,\n    document,\n    'script',\n  );<\/script><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AHMEDABAD: Sustaining the winning momentum will be the aim of Gujarat Titans as they take on Punjab Kings, who will be looking to arrest the losing slide, at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday.
