IPL 2023: Rating Teams based on their final squads after auction

4. Gujarat Titans – 8

The defending champions prevailed in tough situations due to their confidence and momentum. The all-around efforts saw them sealing the finale as well. The skipper Hardik Pandya led from the front, while batters and bowlers were in full sync with their performances.

In most of the games, Pandya and David Miller were key scorers for the team, which helped them deliver well. However, the team struggled in a few patches like not finding a proper middle-order batter. Furthermore, Pandya’s absence in few matches put them under pressure to accelerate at right point of time.

Although Kane Williamson is a decent buy due to his experience, the Kiwi batter is not in good form and is doubtful for the Starting XI. They did well to secure Shivam Mavi and Joshua Little, who are doing well this year.
