Top 3 Gujarat Titans (GT) batters to watch out for in IPL 2024

One of the two new teams announced before the start of the 2022 IPL season was the Gujarat Titans. For around US$750 million, or Rs 5625 crore, CVC Capital Partners won the franchise auction. Prior to the 2022 auction, they picked Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, and Hardik Pandya.

Titans became only the second team after Rajasthan Royals to win the title in their first season. In 2023, the Titans looked the best team on show, with Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan taking bagful of wickets and opener Shubman Gill peaking in a blaze of batting form towards the pointy end. But MS Dhoni's CSK crew bested them twice in the final three matches to snatch the title from the Titans' grasp.

Coming this third season, Gujarat Titans would be hoping to recreate the magic they have had in the last two seasons. 

Here are three batters to watch out for in Gujarat Titans (GT):

3. Shubman Gill

After Hardik Pandya was traded off to Mumbai Indians, Shubman Gill was named captain of the Titans. He was in blazing-hot form last season and amassed a record 890 runs off 17 innings. He was also the leading run scorer and hence the winner of the Orange Cap last season.

With the added responsibility of captaincy now, he would certainly be under more pressure but the class player that he is, doing well under pressure is what would be expected from the batting sensation. He is expected to have another great season in 2024.
