Shubman Gill, a rising star of Indian cricket, has taken up the leadership responsibilities with calm and maturity. Known for his elegant stroke play and consistency at the top, Gill has already played a few key innings this season.

GT have hitters like Jos Buttler, Mahipal Lomror, and Dasun Shanaka who can really put their foot to the floor, but they also have technically highly skilled players who can pace their innings through the likes of Sai Sudharsan and Anuj Rawat. Plus, with Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia following in the middle order, the team has plenty of attacking options to hit the finish.

The bowling attack is led by Rashid Khan and supported by seasoned pacers like Mohammed Siraj and Kagiso Rabada. All-rounders like Washington Sundar and Sai Kishore provide valuable spin options. The inclusion of Coetzee and Prasidh Krishna gives them a variety of pace options.

During their last matchup against Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur on the 27th of April, Gujarat Titans set a competitive score of 209/4, with solid contributions from Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler with the bat, however the bowling unit was unable to contain the RR batters, losing the match by 8 wickets whilst RR chased down the score in just 15.5 overs which showed potential issues with GT’s bowling strategy.
