After making waves in their debut season by clinching the maiden IPL trophy, Gujarat Titans have retained their core team from the previous season. GT appears to have a sorted lineup with only the exclusion of Lockie Ferguson and so they might look for an overseas pacer in the mini auction.

Gujarat TItans’ shrewd campaign at the auctions last year saw them acquire some of the biggest Indian names that eventually led them all the way to the title. The franchise chose to put faith in players regardless of their past exploits at the IPL and will be eyeing a rare repeat in 2023.

Gujarat Titans pacer Yash Dayal has opined that Hardik Pandya is a calm and very confident captain whenever he leads a side. He further added that Hardik has been the best captain for him and he boosts the confidence of the bowler by backing their on field decisions and doesn’t interfere in them.

India head coach Rahul Dravid has heaped praise on Hardik Pandya, saying his captaincy at Gujarat Titans was ‘impressive’ throughout the tournament which led them to win the title in their debut season. Hardik had never been captaining any side in the national or domestic circuit ahead of IPL 2022.
