IPL 2025: Rating Teams based on their final squads

8. Gujarat Titans - 6.5//10

Gujarat Titans’ top order and bowling unit looks like a well-oiled machine but the middle order is something that can trouble them throughout the next season. The franchise retained Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, Sai Sudarsan, Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia, which is a very strong base and on top of that, they have added Jos Buttler for INR 15.75 crore, Mohammed Siraj for INR 12.25, Kagiso Rabada for INR 10.75 crore, Prasidh Krishna for INR 9.5 crore and Washington Sundar for INR 3.20 crore among others.

All these signings look excellent but they have the options of Anuj Rawat, Shahrukh, Mahipal Lomror and Glenn Phillips in the middle order. Consistency has been a problem for these players and that might bother them throughout the season and can spoil their campaign eventually. The top order will be covered by Buttler, Gill and Sai, which looks good, while Prasidh, Rabada, Sundar, Gerald Coetzee and Siraj, which can cause trouble to opponents.

However, they lack that firepower in the middle order, who can be consistent in delivering good performances. The top order will be under pressure for the same reason and in case they flop, the 2022 champions will struggle.
