With only two Indian Premier League (IPL) seasons, Gujarat Titans (GT) emerged as a strong side as they have clinched the IPL 2022 title and ended as IPL 2023 runners-up. With Hardik Pandya switching allegiance and Mohammed Shami out injured, Gujarat Titans will feel the heat. But they have the best mixture of youth and experience to challenge for the title again. Ahead of the IPL 2024, let us have a look at GT Probable Playing XI.
GT have further strengthened its squad in the IPL 2024 Auction by adding a few valuable players.
Gujarat traded Hardik Pandya to Mumbai Indians. Now, Shubman Gill will lead the side. He will also open the batting with Wriddhiman Saha. Sai Sudharshan will bat at No. 3 while all-rounder Vijay Shankar will come next in the batting line-up.
Rahul Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan will provide power hitting at the death overs along with David Miller.
GT have two Afghanistan spinners Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad. While, Umesh Yadav and Azmatullah Omarzai, an Afghanistan pace-bowling all-around player, was also brought in by the Titans, presumably to take Pandya’s spot.
