Gujarat Titans (GT) have received a significant boost ahead of their crucial IPL 2024 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday. Wicketkeeper-batter Matthew Wade has arrived in India and will be available for selection.
Matthew Wade missed due to Sheffield Shield Final
The experienced Australian player was unavailable for the Titans’ first two matches due to his commitment to the Sheffield Shield final with Tasmania. This meant he missed the season opener against Mumbai Indians and the subsequent loss to Chennai Super Kings.
Crucial Addition for Gujarat Titans
Wade’s presence will be a welcome addition to the Titans’ squad. He was instrumental in their title win last season, contributing valuable runs (157 runs) with an aggressive batting style (strike rate of 113) throughout his 10 appearances.
Filling the Gap in GT squad
Last year, Wriddhiman Saha was the preferred choice behind the stumps for the Titans. However, Wade’s return provides the team with a dynamic alternative, offering both wicketkeeping expertise and power-hitting capabilities in the middle order.
Gujarat Titans look for win
The Gujarat Titans will be eager to get back on track after their defeat to Chennai Super Kings. Wade’s experience and skillset could prove crucial in their upcoming match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. His inclusion strengthens their batting line-up and adds valuable depth to the overall squad.
