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).
5. Rishabh Pant (Delhi Capitals)
Rishabh Pant has been exceptional with the bat for Delhi Capitals (DC) in his seven seasons of the IPL. In 2017, the talented youngster delivered jaw-dropping batting performances for his team. Scoring 366 runs in 14 matches at a magnificent strike rate of 165.61, he grabbed a lot of attention.
After 2017, the confident batter had his best season in 2018 with 684 runs in 14 games at an outstanding strike rate of 173.60. So far, the southpaw has served his team efficiently with the bat scoring 2,838 runs in 98 IPL matches at a marvellous strike rate of 147.97.
Witnessing his incredible batting potential, Capitals handed him the captaincy mantle. The 25-year-old took his team to the playoff stage in the 2021 season. As a wicket-keeper too, his figures are fine as he has 79 dismissals behind the stumps. Looking at the blockbuster batting performances of Pant, he could be given the task to reinforce the Best XI’s batting at the number five position.
