Gujarat Titans (GT) have been one of the most consistent teams in the IPL this season. The way the players have gelled together and are fulfilling their specified responsibilities merits a lot of praise for an IPL squad that is making its debut in the league.
They have cemented their position at the top of the IPL point table with five victories in six matches after their exciting three-wicket triumph over the Chennai Super Kings on Sunday.
There were apprehensions about their squad’s depth and batting stocks following the major auctions. GT, on the other hand, has found consistent performers in Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya. David Miller appears to have been assigned a definite job, and his contributions in the middle order have been invaluable to the team.
All-rounders have defined duties.
Hardik Pandya, the No. 4 batting for GT, has looked like a legitimate batter thus far. He has taken on the role of not just anchoring the innings but also chasing down the bowlers in the late stages. Aside from that, the 28-year-old has been sharing the new ball and often striking velocities of over 140 kilometers per hour.
Rahul Tewatia has not been used as a bowler for Gujarat Titans. Instead, he is being used as a finisher, which is a role that he excels at.
Rashid Khan has demonstrated his finishing prowess in recent matches, and his match-winning qualities with the ball are undeniable.
All of these players provide Gujarat with a lot of deepness and might help them succeed in the tournament and join the list of IPL champions.
Form of Shubman Gill & David Miller
The Gujarat Titans signed Shubman Gill before the mega auctions, and the opener has been fantastic for the team. He’s been aggressive and consistent at the top of the order, and he’s been instrumental in the team’s early success. The 22-year-old has 200 runs at an average of 33 in six matches, with a strike rate of 151.52.
There’s also David Miller to consider. The South African batsman has always been a valuable commodity in the league, and he has finally found his range with the Gujarat Titans this season. He’s already won a handful of games, and his 94* against the Chennai Super Kings demonstrated his match-winning abilities once more.
A well-rounded bowling attack
Gujarat Titans have always had a well-rounded bowling attack, despite a few weaknesses in the batting order. They have two top-quality fast bowlers in Mohammed Shami and Lockie Ferguson, who have both upset the opposition in different encounters.
Rashid Khan, a seasoned match-winner who continues to perplex batters, is also on the GT roster. Aside from that, the organization features players like Alzarri Joseph, who looked slick in the previous encounter against the Chennai Super Kings.
