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).
8. Kagiso Rabada (Punjab Kings)
South Africa pacer Kagiso Rabada is known for his relentless approach towards batters. With his fierce bowling attitude, the 27-year-old has helped the Proteas pull off many T20I games also. In the shortest form of the sport, he has fetched 56 wickets for South Africa at an economy of 8.51.
In the IPL, he played his debut season in 2017 in the Delhi Capitals (DC) jersey and took six wickets in six matches. However, his best performance in the cash-rich league came in 2020 as he claimed 30 wickets for DC in 17 games at an economy of 8.34. At the 2022 mega auction, Punjab Kings (PBKS) signed him at a humongous sum of INR 9.25 crore to get his services.
Justifying his price, Rabada ended up on the list of leading wicket-takers with 23 scalps in 13 matches at an economy of 8.46. Talking about his overall record in the league, the iconic bowler has added 99 wickets to his profile in 63 matches at an economy of 8.26. His back-to-back impressive performances in the tournament make him a strong contender to get included in the Best XI.
