Gujarat Titans, the champion of IPL 2022, are trying to defend the title this time, but it will be challenging for any team to defend the title in IPL against such mighty playing 11 of the other franchises. Gujarat has the most powerful players in their squad, but they need some magic in the upcoming season to win the title.
On the auction table, they haven’t shown much interest and silently picked New Zealand’s skipper Kane Williamson and announced that he would bat at no.3. It means their skipper Hardik Pandya will be most likely to bat at no. 4. They have also grabbed Young Indian pacer Shivam Mavi. Irish speedster Joshua Little and these pacers might be seen in the playing XI in the starting matches of the GT.
Looking at the starting XI of the Gujarat Titans, they will open with previous year’s openers, Shubhman Gill and W. Saha, because they have done very well in the IPL 2022, and we are expecting the same in the upcoming edition. At no. 3, they have a safe and experienced player Kane Williamson and at no. 4 skipper will come to bat; looking at the no.3 and no. 4 combination, they have destruction with experience. After them, Killer The Miller will be bat at no.5 to hit big boundaries.
Their batting hasn’t stopped here; only they have Abhinav Manohar, Rahul Tewatia, and Rashid Khan at no. 6,7, and 8, and this batting position will change according to the situation of the match. The pacemaker of the GT will depend on their team management and bowling coach Ashish Nehra, but we have provided the starting 11, and most probably, they will go with the same playing XI, which we have mentioned below. With such a combined squad, their fans will want them to lift the title again.
