Gujarat Titans have definitely suffered a loss due to Hardik Pandya's departure and the team is unlikely to be able to compensate him. Under the captaincy of Hardik, the team reached the finals for two years. Out of this, the team also became champion in 2022. This year, Gujarat (GT) tried to find Hardik's replacement in the auction, but it was hardly possible.
Which player buy GT in 2024?: The franchise definitely bought fast bowling all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai, who performed brilliantly in the ODI World Cup, for Rs 50 lakh, but only time will tell whether he will be able to compensate for Hardik Pandya. Apart from this, Gujarat (GT) definitely did a great job by buying Shahrukh Khan for the role of finisher.
Apart from this, Spencer Johnson and Umesh Yadav were bought as replacements for Yash Dayal, Alzarri Joseph. Gujarat's bowling line up looks very strong, which will include Umesh, Mohit Sharma and Mohammed Shami. Apart from this, there is also Josh Little and Spencer. Rashid and Noor are also among the spinners of the team.
The team overall looks strong once again. It remains to be seen what kind of captain Shubhman Gill proves to be. In the absence of an experienced Indian wicketkeeper as the backup to Wriddhiman Saha, the franchise may have to struggle to fit Kane Williamson in the playing-11.
GT full player List: Azmatullah Omarzai (Rs 50 lakh), Umesh Yadav (Rs 5.80 crore), Shahrukh Khan (Rs 7.4 crore), Sushant Mishra (Rs 2.2 crore), Karthik Tyagi (Rs 60 lakh), Manav Suthar (Rs 20 lakh), Spencer Johnson (Rs 10 crore), Robin Minz (Rs 3.6 crore).
Shubman Gill (captain), David Miller, Matthew Wade, Wriddhiman Saha, Kane Williamson, Abhinav Manohar, Sai Sudarshan, Darshan Nalkande, Vijay Shankar, Jayant Yadav, Rahul Tewatia, Mohammed Shami, Noor Ahmed, R. . Sai Kishore, Rashid Khan, Joshua Little, Mohit Sharma.
