"It's got plenty of grass. Good batting wicket, lot's of runs," says Matthew Hayden at the pitch report. 

18:39 (IST)

Gujarat Titans remain the only unbeaten side in the tournament. The Hardik Pandya-led team look pretty strong after having beaten Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals easily. Their bowling attack is effective, with both Mohammad Shami and Lockie Ferguson in good form. All-rounder Hardik Pandya has picked a balanced team.

Gujarat Titans do not need to make changes in their playing XI, but Vijay Shankar's performance could be a cause of worry for the side. They could well try Abhinav Manohar at the top of the order.
