The Titans posted pictures of the players working out at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on their social media pages.
Players like Rahul Tewatia, Abhinav Manohar, Sai Sudarshan, Vijay Shankar, Mohit Sharma, and a few other individuals could be seen performing routine drills in the photos. The campers recently competed for their respective state teams in the Ranji Trophy.
Prior to the IPL 2023 auction, the franchisee kept all of the aforementioned names on the roster with the exception of Mohit Sharma. In the IPL 2022 season, young players Abhinav Manohar and Sai Sudarshan did well given the opportunities that were given to them. Sudarshan scored 145 runs in 5 matches while Manohar scored 108 runs from 8 games.
