IPL 2024: Best Predicted Playing XI of Gujarat Titans (GT) after mini-auction

Gujarat Titans (GT) have been the most consistent team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in the last two years. However, they failed to defend the title in 2023 under Hardik Pandya’s captaincy after losing to the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium. 

Before the IPL 2024 auction in Dubai, Pandya parted ways with Gujarat and joined his old team Mumbai Indians (MI). Following this move, GT appointed opener Shubman Gill as their captain for the 2024 season. Under the new skipper, Titans will continue playing a fierce brand of cricket. In the 2024 auction, they spent INR 30.30 crore to add eight players to the team. After this development, it’s time to have a glance at the best XI of the 2022 IPL champions.

Here is the best XI of Gujarat Titans (GT) after the 2024 IPL auction

1. Shubman Gill (C)

Shubman Gill will be seen in the captaincy role for the first time in the cash-rich league. As a batter, the youngster looked stunning in 2023. He scored 890 runs in 17 matches at a marvellous strike rate of 157.80 and ended up as the leading run-getter in the competition. Noting his brilliant performance in 2023, GT have handed Gill the reins of the team.

The Gujarat-based franchise will expect Gill to justify his role as skipper and specialist batter. As a leader of the pack, he will look to be among big runs and set an example for other players to be disciplined. Before the marquee tournament, the star player will also strive to play some huge knocks for India against Afghanistan in a three-match T20 International (T20I) series as he didn’t look great with his bat in the last few T20Is.
