Gujarat Lions, on the other hand, are out of contention and they are struggling at the second last position. Having finished an impressive third in their inaugural season last year, it
turned out to be a disappointing campaign for the Lions in 2017. The Lions are coming into the match following consecutive losses, which also includes the heartbreaking defeat against Mumbai
Indians in a thrilling Super Over finish at Rajkot. Despite posting 208-7, the Lions were blown away by Rishabh Pant's sensational 43-ball 97-run innings and Sanju Samson's 61 in
their last match against Delhi and they would still be reeling from the seven-wicket loss. Lions have also suffered a body blow losing their opener Brendon McCullum, who will miss the
remaining matches after suffering a hamstring strain. Skipper Suresh Raina and Dinesh Karthik have done the bulk of their scoring and with the likes of Ishan Kishan, Aaron Finch, and Dwayne
Smith in their line-up, Gujarat have the ability to tear apart even the strongest of the bowling attack. But more often than not, it is their inexperienced bowling unit which has cost the
side dearly. The likes of Shardul Thakur, James Faulkner, Basil Thampi and Ravindra Jadeja have failed to live up to the expectations of the side.
