- RR. Without David Miller, GT has dropped its last two games.
- Miller might be sidelined for two weeks due to a minor ailment.
Spencer Johnson, the left-arm pacer for GT, believes that David Miller, the team's designated finisher, is unlikely to play in their next game against RR. Miller hasn't played in the team's last two games, which have resulted in losses. The 2022 champions and runners-up of the previous season, GT, lost their most recent games to Lucknow by 33 runs and Punjab by three wickets. Miller's absence was noticed greatly, particularly in the closing moments of the games. Miller is likely to be out for at least two weeks, despite the fact that the injury was initially classified as a minor ache.
"Davy, I believe he is not too far away from coming back." At the pre-game press conference, Johnson stated, "Even if he misses this one, he will be available for the next one." Johnson thinks GT's win-loss record would have been 4-1 if they hadn't dropped a few tight games. "We have shown how good a side we are in the last couple of years, but we have had a couple of disappointing performances in the last couple of games," the lanky paceman, who was purchased for USD 1.18 million at the auctions last year, stated.
Johnson acknowledged that it will be challenging to defeat RR, who have won four straight games, but he also said that victory will give them more confidence going into their upcoming home games. "It is difficult to visit the Rajasthan Royals' stadium because they have won four straight games. We want to defeat them, but we know how difficult it is." to win away games, but a couple of points here, goes a long way giving confidence going into our next two home games," Johnson stated.
GT paid a heavy price in back-to-back matches as they were without the highly effective David Miller during the middle overs. After making a promising 54/1 start in the powerplay, GT, who is still in search of a reliable batting order, crashed to a meager 130 all out. Shubman Gill, the new captain, tried to strengthen GT's batting order, but Yash of LSG caused chaos with the ball and brilliantly claimed five wickets for his team.
