Gujarat Titans
With the Indian Premier League(IPL) auction complete, all the squads are now final and are ready to compete in the tournament. One of the main teams which people are looking forward to watching is the Gujarat Giants. The Gujarat franchise has already won hearts with brilliant performances in their first two seasons where they have been champions in 2022 and runner up in 2023. There are still some major changes which have been done in the squad with some big releases from the last season. On the positive side, this did give them enough money in the purse, which they used wisely in the auction. There have been a lot of smart purchases done by the franchise before the upcoming season.
There are still a lot of changes in the Gujarat franchise that have been made including a change in leadership. The team will be led by the upcoming India Star batter Shubman Gill who was also one of their best performers last season. This is a good opportunity for the 24-year-old to tick one more box in his achievement lead this successful franchise and show his leadership skills. This will also put the youngster under a little pressure when he has to take the reins from the experienced Hardik Pandya who will not be part of the Gujarat franchise this upcoming season
Who will make the eleven?
There are a lot of options for the Gujarat Titans who have one of the most balanced squads in the IPL with a great mix of experience and young players. They also have a great set of all-rounders in their squad as well. It will be interesting to see who will be the main core of the team. With how the team looks this looks like how the final playing squad would look like when the season begins.
The openers without a doubt should be Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha who were phenomenal last season and gave great starts to the Gujarat innings. The number 3 and number 4 spots should go to Sai Sudharshan and Kane Williamson Sudharshan can play his stylish shots and Williamson can anchor and stabilise the innings at number 4. The next three positions should go to David Miller, Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia where all these batters can finish the innings with their explosive big hits. Starting with the tail Rashid Khan cannot be left out. Not only is he one of the best spinners, but he can give you a few quickfire cameos with the bat. The next three players will be the pace duo of Mohit Sharma and Mohammed Shami who were exceptional last season ending with another Afghan wily wrist spinner in Noor Ahmad. Overall this looks like the best playing XI for the Titans.
