PUNJAB KINGS RECENT PERFORMANCE

The victory was constructed on the efforts of a group of local players, who were captained by Hardik Pandya. Other players like Gill and Saha as openers and Md Shami as a fast bowler also made significant contributions. Some foreign players such as Rashid Khan and David Miller also played an important role.
The Punjab Kings cricket team plays their home games at two different stadiums, the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala and the Inderjit Singh Bindra Stadium in Mohali. They were one of the eight franchises that were part of the inaugural IPL auction held in Mumbai in 2008.
During the IPL auction for the 2023 season, the Punjab Kings made history by paying INR 18.50 crores for Sam Curran, the highest ever bid for a player in the IPL. The team was previously known as Kings XI Punjab, but changed its name to Punjab Kings in the previous season and continues to use that name. Shikhar Khan is the captain of the team for the IPL-2023 tournament, and it is owned by four partners, Mohit Burman, Preity Zinta, Karan Paul, and Ness Wadia.
In the IPL-2014 tournament, Punjab Kings were the runner-ups for the first time in IPL history.

For IPL 2023, Kane Williamson, who was purchased at the auction, will bat in the middle order for the Gujarat Titans team. However, the franchise has a relatively small number of foreign players available. Therefore, their success will once again be determined by the performance of their domestic players.
The Gujarat Titans play their home games at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The team was announced by the BCCI in 2021 and won the IPL Championship in their first season in IPL-2022. CVC Capitals Partners owns the franchise, which was purchased for INR 5,625 crores ($700 million) at an auction in Dubai in October 2021.
Ashish Nehra is the head coach of the Gujarat Titans, and the team has two assistant coaches, Narender Negi and Mithun Manhas. Hardik Pandya is the captain of the team in the IPL-2023 tournament. The Gujarat Titans have Gary Kirsten and Aashish Kapoor as their batting and bowling mentors.
The Gujarat Titans' team squad for match 18 of the IPL-2023 tournament includes David Miller, Abhinav Manohar, Sai Sudharsan, Kane Williamson, Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya, Rahul Tewatia, Vijay Shankar, Rashid Khan, Shivam Mavi, Urvil Patel, Srikar Bharat, Matthew Wade, Wriddhiman Saha, Alzarri Joseph, Darshan Nalkande, Joshua Little, Mohammed Shami, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Noor Ahmad, Mohie Sharma, Pradeep Sangwan, Odeon Smith, Yash Dayal, and Jayant Yadav.
