Pitch Report
It's one of the best pitches in India. The Red soil possesses true bounce and has something for everyone. It's a high-scoring venue with short boundaries and usually the team batting 2nd benefits with the help of dew

Dependable Picks for Rario D3 Predictions 

Batter 1 & 2- Ruturaj Gaikwad and Cameron Green 

A top-order batter should be your blind pick in D3 and first priority. A top-order batter should be your blind pick in D3. Ruturaj Gaikwad is coming off an incredible home season in VHT and SMAT scoring 660 runs at 113 SR and 295 runs at 146 SR respectively. He did not have a great season last year but was the orange cap winner in the season before. He displayed a scintillating act of batting in the 1st game with 92 runs and followed it up with another 50 in the 2nd match. He is leading the chart of run scores. 

Cameron Green was tried as an opener before the t20 wc against India and he returned with 118 runs at a whooping SR of 214. He batted at 3 in the last game and is we could expect some fireworks from him. 

Bowler 1 & 2- Mitchell Santner and Jason Behrendorff

We don’t have the liberty of choice given the depth of the bowling attacks of both teams in  D3.  

According to a reliable source, Archer is set to miss today’s game due to an elbow injury and he hasn’t even practiced for the past 2 days. This puts a lot of onus on Jason Behrendorff who’ll be the most experienced pace bowler in the lineup

On the other hand, we could take a punt on Mitchell Santner who is probably one of the best finger spinners in white ball cricket. Moeen Ali was a star with the ball in the last game but conditions in Wankhede would be different and Santner could trouble the likes of Rohit and Surya. 

Last 2 picks- Tim David and Moeen Ali

All-rounders should be a no-brainer in this section in D3.  

Tim David is arguably one of the world’s best finishers. Since 2021, he has had an SR of over 150 in almost every tournament he has played that includes BBL, PSL, IPL, and CPL. There is a reason he earned a last-minute call to the 2022 WC. He could literally feats on the listless death bowlers of CSK. 

Moeen Ali was the game changer in the last match with the ball with a 4 wkt haul. And given the lack of quality spinners in the opposition camp makes him a potent threat for MI with the bat.

Match Predictions for Rario D3 predictions

Jofra’s absence could hurt MI in all possible ways. CSK should take 2 points from this game given how their batting has performed so far in the 2 games.

Pitch Report

It's a big ground with short boundaries in front of the wicket and long boundaries square of the wicket. 170 is a par score here and batters enjoy facing fast bowlers more than spinners. Dew aids in helping batting 2nd but since its a day game its best to bat first. 

Probable Playing XIs for Rario D3 Predictions

GUJARAT TITANS- Shubman Gill, Wriddhiman Saha, Sai Sudharshan,   Hardik Pandya, Vijay Shankar, David Miller Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Shivam Mavi, Mohammed Shami, Alzarri Joseph

Dependable Picks for Rario D3 Predictions 

Batter 1 & 2- OG batter 1 and Rahmanullah Gurbaz

Again going by the thumb rule, a top-order batter should be your blind pick in D3. OG batter 1 has been piling up runs in all 3 formats at the international level for the past 8 months and has scored 7 100s. He also improved his T20 game and registered his 1st T20i 100 on the same venue against New Zealand not so long ago. He started his campaign with a magnificent 64 against CSK with some exquisite shots. 

Gurbaz showed a lot of promise in the 1st game with a couple of breath-taking hits and KKR would expect more from him for the rest of the season. Apart from being an explosive opener, Gurbaz is also a part-time wk. He has an SR of over 150 in the T20 format with over 3000 runs. Gurbaz had good outings in the recently held SPL, ILT20, and Abu Dhabi t10 leagues. He was the lone warrior in the top order in the last game with 58 runs. This could also prove to be his last game if Roy replaces him henceforth 

Bowler 1 & 2- Rashid Khan and Sunil Narine

These 2 are arguably the greatest T20 bowlers in the history of the game and it should be more than obvious to have them in D3. Season after season they have proved to be MVPs for their respective teams and have also contributed immensely with the bat. 

Rashid Khan should be your automatic choice and probably the 1st pick in D3. He is arguably the greatest T20 bowler with more than 500 wickets. He is the only bowler to take 15+ wkts in 7 consecutive seasons. Moreover, he adds immense value to the bat. He once again proved his mettle with the bat by scoring crucial boundaries. 

Similarly, Sunil Narine has close to 500 wickets at an eco of 5.99.  Last season he had the best economy with 5,57. Being a day game and the conditions and dimensions of the stadium they are going to fetch plenty of points in D3.

Last 2 picks- Andre Russell and David Miller 

This Caribbean all-rounder is a must-pick in your D3.  Andre Russell has been MVP twice and one can earn heavy points with his contribution with the bat and ball. He has an astonishing SR of 177 with over 2K runs. No one has scored more runs than him at a better SR. He also holds the record of hitting 50+ sixes in a season along with Gayle. He has gifted wkts cheaply in 1st 2 games but we never rule him out given his caliber and his match-changing abilities. 

GT has been boosted by the addition of David Miller and he did what he does best in the last game. Only Pollard has more runs than him at a better SR batting at 5 or below in IPL. Whereas in intls, the same record belongs to him. 

Match Predictions for Rario D3 predictions

KKR have found momentum with the way they won against RCB but there are still a lot of chinks in their armor. Gujarat looks strong on paper and should further take their tally to 6 points.
