Player to watch

Rakesh from Gujarat Giants will be the player to watch out for who scored a super 10 in the first match of the season against Tamil Talaivas. The defence department of Tamil Thalaivas had no clue against Rakesh in the first half scoring points at will. 

Naveen Kumar had done the bulk of the raiding in the absence of Vijay Malik. With Vijay not playing due to injury Naveen will have to shoulder both the captaincy and raiding which he had done well in the first match of the season.

Gujarat Giants 

Gujarat Giants looked good in their last encounter after coming back strongly in the final minutes when they were trailing by 3 points. Narendra scored more than 5 points through a bonus in the left flank. The Giants need to stop the opposition from taking easy bonuses which might hurt them in the final stages of the match.
