History of only five seasons and in that too one title, runner-up once and journey to playoffs a total of 4 times. This is the record of Gujarat Titans, one of the two newest teams of IPL. Gujarat Titans, which won the title in its very first season, has once again reached the playoffs. This is the second consecutive season of the team under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, when it has reached the next round. But compared to last season, this time the team seems to be a bigger contender for the title and the reason for this is Gujarat’s ‘Super-6’, who are dominant from batting to bowling.
Shubman Gill
its just the beginning Captain Shubman Gill Who is not only giving strong captaincy but is also scoring runs with his bat. Gill has scored 616 runs in 13 innings so far this season, where his average is 47 and strike rate is 161. He has scored more than 50 6 times and is currently second in the list of batsmen who have scored the most runs.
Sai Sudarshan
Gill’s opening partner Sai Sudarshan has also made an equally big contribution to the team’s success. This left-handed batsman has scored runs continuously and has helped the team in reaching big scores or in run chases. Sudarshan has scored 638 runs in 14 innings at an average of 49 and is number-1 in the list. Along with this, he has scored 7 half-centuries and 1 century.
joss buttler
Their top-3 have played the maximum responsibility of scoring runs for Gujarat and the third in it is England’s great Jos Buttler. As soon as Butler, who started the season slowly, gained momentum, Gujarat’s season continued to improve. This is the reason why so far he has scored 469 runs in 14 innings and has scored 4 half-centuries.
Kagiso Rabada
Just as three players are doing wonders in batting, similarly three stars have shone in bowling also. At the top is star fast bowler Kagiso Rabada, who has taken 24 wickets in 14 innings this season and is at the top along with Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Rabada, especially in the power play, has given a good start to the team by taking wickets in almost every match, the effect of which is visible in the results of the match. Rabada has bowled 147 dot balls so far.
Rashid Khan
Like Butler, star spinner Rashid Khan, who had a bad start in bowling, has also made a strong comeback. Even though he has not been able to bowl economically this season, he has single-handedly led the team to victory in some matches. This is the reason why by taking 19 wickets in 14 innings, he has reached fourth place in the Purple Cap race.
Mohammad Siraj
Apart from these, the most important Indian part of the team’s bowling attack, Mohammad Siraj, has also troubled the batsmen with strong consistency and contributed to the team’s success. His 3 wickets in 10 balls against Chennai laid the foundation of 89 run victory. Overall, he has taken 17 wickets in 14 innings and is included in the top-10. Apart from this, he has bowled maximum 148 dot balls.
