IPL 2023: 5 Teams that can target Narayan Jagadeesan in auction
Narayan Jagadeesan became the first batter in history to score five consecutive List-A centuries.
4. Gujarat Titans
In IPL 2022, Gujarat Titans created history by winning the title in their debut season itself. However, in their successful campaign, Hardik Pandya & co. were not able to find an ideal candidate for the number three position. GT entrusted Vijay Shankar for that role but the ace all-rounder had a horror show with the bat as he could only manage 19 runs in four games.
Post Shankar's awful showings, the Gujarat franchise tried the likes of Sai Sudharsan and Matthew Wade at the top of the order but none of them were able to light up the tournament with their performances. Though Sudharsan did a decent job scoring 145 runs in five games at a strike rate of 127.19, he couldn't deliver as per the team’s expectations. The think tank might ponder over picking Jagadeesan in a bid to strengthen their batting line-up.
Moreover, Gujarat’s premier wicketkeeper Saha is in the twilight of his career and the defending champions will need someone to fill his shoes in the near future. With Rahmanullah Gurbaz released, Jagadeesan could be a perfect candidate for the same as he is a gun-opening batter and safe behind the stumps. Therefore, Jagadeesan could be an answer to GT’s top-order batting concerns.
