IPL: Best XI that can defeat defending champions Gujarat Titans
These players will make an ideal playing XI that can defeat the current IPL champions Gujarat Titans (GT).
9. Josh Hazlewood (Royal Challengers Bangalore)
Josh Hazlewood is known for his disciplined bowling in all three forms of the sport. In 2021, the 32-year-old helped Australia to lift the maiden T20 World Cup trophy. Picking up 11 wickets in seven matches at an economy of 7.29, he played a key role in his team’s success.
Witnessing Hazlewood’s extraordinary display for his national side in the marquee event, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) signed him at the 2022 mega auction for INR 7.75 crore. Playing his debut season for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), he was remarkable with the ball grabbing 20 wickets in 12 matches at an economy of 8.11. However, it was Chennai Super Kings (CSK) that gave him a chance in the league.
In 2020, CSK picked him at the mini-auction to strengthen their bowling unit. After having a dismal season in 2020, CSK became champions for the fourth time in the fourteenth edition of the league. With 11 scalps in nine matches at an economy of 8.37, Hazlewood was one of the major faces who led CSK to success. These records of the Aussie pacer make him an apt name to feature in this XI.
