The Gujarat-based franchise fielded an unchanged playing XI for their IPL 2026 match against the Rishabh Pant-led side, the same team that helped them defeat DC by 1 run in their previous match.

"We'll field first. Two points in the last match gave us confidence. We want to play better cricket and avoid taking the match to the final over. We’ve had a tremendous time; consistency matters in a long tournament. After 14 matches, the most consistent team wins. We’re unchanged today," Gill said at the toss.

The hosts also played the same XI from their last match against Ajinkya Rahane’s side.
