The return of Phil Salt, who missed the multiple group stage matches after playing the first 6 games in the tournament, has put the franchise in a dilemma. His availability provides the team with a straightforward space to pick up a proper opener.
For the Gujarat Titans match, who will open the innings alongside Virat, Venkatesh Iyer, or Phit Salt? That’s been the question ahead of the fixture. The winner of the RCB vs GT match will directly confirm their slot in the finals. So, it is obvious that the teams will name their best possible playing combinations by any means.
Rajat Patidar provides updates on Phil Salt
"Phil Salt is fit. He is under observation by the doctor. He has been participating in a few drills, but we haven’t decided on our playing eleven yet. We will look at the wicket and decide,” Rajat Patidar said at the pre-match press conference on Sunday.
“I have known Venky since childhood. He has a great attitude and is ready to bat anywhere in the order. He was a main player at KKR, but when he came here, he didn’t get a lot of chances in the beginning. He accepted that and ensured he was prepared when the chance came to cash in,” the skipper talked about Iyer, who played as an opener in their previous match.
Bowling is our strength: Patidar
“He is an experienced bowler. The last game didn't go the way we wanted, but bowling is our strength, and the way we bowl in the power play will be crucial. So we look for early wickets, and that is what we have done so far. That is what Bhuvi, Hazlewood, and Rasik are doing. So we hope that we continue the same process,” Patidar added.
