In a way, Gujarat Titans is a throwback to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru of yesteryear.
Back then, Virat Kohli, A.B. de Villiers and Chris Gayle used to do the bulk of the scoring and the rest of the batting line-up would be comparatively airy. GT of today is eerily similar, with the troika of Shubman Gill, B. Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler expected to do all the heavy-lifting.
