Today's IPL 2026 match: Who are the players to watch out for?
Eyes will be on Virat Kohli, who will have his eyes on the Orange Cap that has exchanged a few hands since he relinquished it earlier this season. After dismantling the Delhi Capitals, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood – the RCB new-ball pair – will also be at the centre of attention.
The GT top three, Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler, are a formidable trinity, but the focus will be on the bowlers. GT’s bowling attack, one of the most threatening this season, consists of Rashid Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna.
