IPL 2023: Best Starting Playing XI of Gujarat Titans after mini-auction
Hardik Pandya-led side added some experienced and in-form players at the mini-auction to defend the title in the next edition.
10. Shivam Mavi
Appearing for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) from 2018-2022 in the cash-rich league, Shivam Mavi took 30 wickets in 32 matches, at an expensive economy of 8.71. In November, the youngster was left out of the KKR retention list due to his dismal show with the ball in the last season.
Bagging only five wickets in six games, at a terrible economy of 10.31, Mavi looked completely out of form for KKR in 2022. However, at the recently concluded mini-auction, he got a buyer as Gujarat Titans signed him at INR 6 crore. Joining the new franchise in 2023, Mavi will look to give his best with his brutal bowling speed.
The 24-year-old will be supported by veteran Mohammed Shami, Rashid Khan, and his skipper Hardik Pandya to strengthen the bowling unit. Recently, the speedster became the highest wicket-taker for his domestic team Uttar Pradesh in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022-23. Grabbing 10 wickets in seven contests, at a fabulous economy of 6.64, he looked sensational.
