IPL 2023: Rating all 10 teams based on their performances thus far

2. Gujarat Titans- 9/10

The defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) are looking dangerous in this tournament. With three triumphs and a loss in four matches, they have consistently featured in the top four in the points table. In the opening game, they pulled off a successful chase of 179 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and filled their supporters with enthusiasm. 

With their tight bowling and disciplined batting, they have won three games comfortably. With their players’ determination and skills, they’ve got success in executing their game plan perfectly. Except for the matches against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and table toppers Rajasthan Royals, in every other game, they could outclass their rivals by a comfortable margin.

Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, Mohammed Shami and Alzari Joseph have played their role brilliantly. However, their skipper Hardik Pandya’s inefficiency with both bat and ball continues to be a worrying point as he is expected to set a standard with his captaincy and all-round talent.
