Gujarat vs Kerala Betting Tips

Count on Chintan Gaja to set the tone with the ball. The Gujarat pacer has been a game-changer this season, consistently providing breakthroughs when it matters the most. And what about Arzan Nagwaswalla? The left-arm seamer has been just as effective, and alongside Gaja, he’ll be looking to make the most of the conditions in Ahmedabad against Kerala’s batting lineup. But if you really are serious about making money, add a substantial base to Salman Nizar and Jalaj Saxena.
