The Hardik Pandya-led side will play their first match on March 28 against fellow debutants Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium.
The Titans have roped in some highly talented players by splashing hefty sums during the mega auction. They secured the services of Lockie Ferguson for Rs 10 crore and have also brought in the likes of Rahul Tewatia and Mohammed Shami in their squad. Gujarat clearly have a big bowling strength with such big stars in their ranks.
However, we probably won’t be able to say the same thing about their batting which doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence. The Titans received a big blow a few weeks earlier when Jason Roy pulled out of the tournament citing bio-bubble fatigue. They still have reliable batters in Shubman Gill and Matthew Wade while for big-hitting, Pandya, David Miller and Tewatia can all be depended to perform. But overall, Gujarat’s batting line-up don’t look very impressive.
