Top Order
In the top order, Gujarat Titans will have captain Shubman Gill and star English wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler. Both batters have played a few match-winning knocks but have also disappointed in some matches. For the third spot, the team will be having young Indian batter Sai Sudharsan, who has performed really well for the team this season so far. In the last match against Delhi Capitals, the team made a change in the order with Sai Sudharsan opening the innings. It will be interesting to see whether the team continues with this or not.
Middle Order
For the middle order, Gujarat has three explosive all-rounders: Shahrukh Khan, West Indian Sherfane Rutherford, and Rahul Tewatia. While Rutherford has shown some aggressive batting form in a few matches, the other two Indian all-rounders have performed well.
Bowlers
The bowling department of the Gujarat Titans will have star Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj leading the pace attack alongside Prasidh Krishna, all-rounder Arshad Khan, and the experienced Ishant Sharma. While the spin department will feature one of the top spinners in the world, Rashid Khan, who is struggling this season. Alongside him, the team will also have Sai Kishore, who has been phenomenal for the team this season with the ball.
