IPL 2022: Best starting XI of Gujarat Titans after mega auction

11. Lockie Ferguson

Lockie Ferguson was picked by the Gujarat Titans for a whopping INR 10 crore in the IPL 2022 mega auction after an intense bidding battle between Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore. The New Zealand pacer can be very lethal with his pace and he will form the perfect partner for the likes of Shami.

Ferguson is one of the quickest bowlers going around in the world at the moment and can easily clock it above 150 Kmph consistently. He had a fine season for the Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2021 and is a wicket-taking option at the death or in the powerplay.

Ferguson is yet to be tested on a full season as he has managed to play just the 22 IPL games so far since making his IPL debut in 2017 and he is coming from an injury which might be concerns going forward. However, he will definitely feature in the playing XI if he doesn’t have any fitness concerns.
