Clash of misfiring top orders as Titans and Kings seek crucial points
The two sides have the slowest scoring top three in the competition, and find themselves near the bottom of the table
Top-order troubles
In an IPL season where batting has reached new heights, both Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans are circling the drain, their top-order performances in particular letting the team down on various occasions.
Even after seven matches, Shubman Gill is the only half-centurion in his team. Sam Curran, though he was addressing the incredible rise of Ashutosh Sharma, couldn't help but voice his disappointment at the lack of support.
Big scores, of course, aren't always necessary in T20 cricket. Rapid 20s and 30s are often enough to put up a team on top. But Kings (SR 128.80) and Titans (130.54) aren't even managing that. In fact, they have the slowest scoring top three in the competition
Rashid Khan, Shashank Singh and Ashutosh have each bailed their sides out of trouble coming in down the order a fair few times but sooner or later, the others are going to have to start pulling their weight.
