Pitch Report of Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai:

The Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy is set to host another high-scoring game, with the average first-innings score in IPL 2022 at the stadium being 172 runs. The pacers won’t receive much swing since the surface has good carry and bounce. However, the spinners, who will be crucial in the middle overs, may have some turn available. In the second inning, Dew is likely to play a key role in assisting the batters. In IPL 2022, chasing has been the norm, and that is unlikely to change anytime soon.

On April 23^rd, these two teams will face off in the 35^th match of the Indian Super League (IPL) in Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai. Kolkata Knight Riders are currently in seventh position, while Gujarat Titans are currently in first position in the Indian Super League standings.

Kolkata started their campaign on a positive note but have lost three games in a row now and it is time for Shreyas Iyer and his boys to step up their game. Death bowling has been an issue for Kolkata as both of their frontline pacers, Umesh Yadav and Pat Cummins are known to produce goods in the Powerplay. As a result, they have faltered at that crucial stage of the game quite often and would like to tighten up in that aspect.

Another concern, has been the performance of their top-order but the way, Aaron Finch and Shreyas Iyer batted in the last game will give them a lot of confidence going forward. Sunil Narine was also pushed at the top of the order with Venkatesh Iyer being slotted into the middle order and it might well be the way ahead, with Narine capable of providing the much-needed boost in the Powerplay. Overall, there are couple of concerns to address for this team and it’s high time they get their house in order with competition for the playoffs heating up.

Their opponents, Gujarat, on the other hand, have lost only one game so far from the six they have played and are in a rather comfortable position on the points table at the moment. They are one of the newest entries in the Indian T20 League but have shown great character and maturity till now. They were without their charismatic skipper, Hardik Pandya in the last game but once again it was the depth and belief in their side with vintage ‘ Killer Miller’ displaying his full range that took them through.

They have one of the strongest bowling attack in the competition with great variety and if they can address their opening pair and number 3 conundrum, they have all the arsenal to go deep in the tournament. Hardik Pandya is expected to be back in this game and that will boost their confidence further, so expect Gujarat to come out all guns blazing again.

Top Picks from KOL vs GT for Dream11 Fantasy Team:

Shubman Gill has gone hot and cold in the IPL 2022, despite a strong start. He is a good player of both pace and spin, with his records also suggesting the same. Against the likes of Umesh and Cummins, GT will need Shubman Gill to come up with a big one, making him one to watch out for in this game.

Shreyas Iyer has been the standout batter for the Kolkata Knight Riders with a couple of top knocks at the top of the order. The Kolkata skipper will be keen to sustain his form with another big performance at the expense of GT. With Gujarat posing a strong spin threat, Shreyas Iyer’s role becomes all the more important and makes him a must-have in your KOL vs GT Dream11 fantasy team.

Hardik Pandya is one of the finest all-rounders in the game and has started to take up more responsibility with both the bat and ball for the Gujarat Titans. Hardik has shown glimpses of his explosive batting ability while his bowling has improved over the last few games. With his skill-set bound to have a say in this game, he is a good addition to your KOL vs GT Dream11 fantasy team.

Umesh Yadav has hit the ground running for KKR in IPL 2022, with 10 wickets in seven matches. The right-arm fast has been brilliant in the power-play overs, with his experience and accuracy serving him well. Given his form and GT’s fragile batting order, he is expected to be amongst the wickets in this game as well.
