"I think for both teams, especially for the batsmen... a bit of reality will kick in now. Although the Ahmedabad wicket has been quite good, the batsmen had a bit too much leeway there. If Gujarat hands the ball to Rashid Khan and brings him into the match early, I will back Gujarat Titans."

On another hand, former australian cricketer Tom Moody favoured Bangaluru, rather  than another contender. He mentioned, "I think RCB has edged ahead just a little bit, and besides that, Ambati Rayudu has also named Bengaluru as the title contender."
