IPL 2025: 5 Capped and 1 uncapped player Gujarat Titans might retain ahead of the mega-auction

3. Rashid Khan

Star spinner Rashid Khan is arguably the biggest match-winner in the shortest format of the game. He has vast experience in the format, playing all across the globe. He represented Gujarat in 45 matches and has picked 56 wickets, which also includes a hat-trick against Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2023. That same year, he picked up 27 wickets, finishing second on the highest wicket-takers list.

Rashid is also one of the leaders in the dressing room. After Hardik decided to switch sides, there were talks of him being appointed as the new captain but the team management wanted an Indian. As a result, Shubman Gill was handed the baton. He has led Afghanistan previously and has done well and can lead the bowling unit of Gujarat for years to come.

The 25-year-old has also bettered his batting in recent times. He made 130 runs in nine innings in 2023 at a whopping strike rate of 216.66. He can be very effective in the lower middle order and that’s another reason why Gujarat won’t let Rashid go at any cost.
