The only change GT may look to make is excluding Nishant Sidhu who is yet to repay the team management’s faith in him. GT can either replace him with Kumar Kushagra or Anuj Rawat. Also, Arshad Khan may be replaced by either Prasidh Krishna or Ashok Sharma. They also have Ishant Sharma on the bench who is yet to play a game this season.
