Areas of concern for Gujarat Titans:
While the Titans have made strategic wins, there are areas they missed out on, notably the absence of a seasoned Indian wicketkeeping backup to Wriddhiman Saha. This gap might pose challenges in accommodating Kane Williamson in the playing XI. Despite a spirited attempt with a bid of INR 24.50 crore, the Titans couldn’t secure Mitchell Starc.
The full squad presents a mix of experience and emerging talent.
