In the recent match, GT made the decision to bowl first against RCB.
Winning the toss, Shubman Gill had no doubts about choosing to bowl first in Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s opening match at their home ground, the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
The team GT is currently playing their first away game of the season, where they have won and lost one match each. In order to fill the gap left by Kagiso Rabada, who was unable to play due to personal reasons, they have brought in Arshad Khan, a left-arm fast bowler. As a result, GT now has only two overseas players in their bowling XI and are considering adding Sherfane Rutherford for their batting lineup.
