Gujarat Titans were phenomenal in their first appearance winning 10 games out of 14 and topping the points table in the IPL 2022. Ahead of the upcoming season, GT have retained most of their members from the title-winning squad. David Miller and Hardik Pandya are retained as they were major contributors with the bat. Also, Rashid Khan will lead the spin attack while Mohammed Shami would be the spearhead in the fast bowling department.
GT traded Lockie Ferguson and Rahamanullah Gurbaz to Kolkata Knight Riders ahead of the auction. Only Fergsuon is the notable exclusion from the team and so they might look for an overseas pacer in the mini auction to strengthen the pace attack. Also, the team might look for a solid middle-order batter to support Hardik Pandya and David Miller with a purse of 19.25 Crore rupees.
The Titans made their first move by roping in Kane Williamson at his base price of ₹2 crore. He was the first player to go under hammer, and the defending champions acquired him for his services. In the next set, they picked Odean Smith for just ₹50 lakh. GT added thrid wicketkeeper to their roster buying K S Bharat at ₹1.2 Crores. In an intense bidding war with RR, the team bought Shivam Mavi for ₹6 Crores. Eventually, they were done with their 25-member squad list by signing Urvil Patel, Josh Little, and Mohit Sharma.
