IPL 2023: GT skipper Hardik Pandya wins toss, opts to bowl against RCB

NEW DELHI: Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bowl first against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match in Bengaluru on Sunday.

Leg-spinner Himanshu Sharma replaced Karn Sharma in RCB playing XI in a like-for-like replacement, while GT are unchanged.

"We are gonna bowl with the weather around. Just want to know how much we are going to chase. For us to win games and continue the momentum, I believe in good habits. Just want to go out there and play some good cricket. For us this is as important as the next game. We are playing the same team," Hardik said after winning the toss.

"You always want to chase because of the conditions, but the team batting first has done well here. It is a new one and the guys are motivated for this one. Just one change. Karn Sharma misses out and Himanshu Sharma replaces him," RCB captain Faf du Plessis said at the toss.
