After a challenging campaign that saw them finish in eighth place, the Titans have retained five key players — Rashid Khan, Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Rahul Tewatia, and Shahrukh Khan—but there remains a pressing need to enhance their batting lineup.
With a purse of INR 69 crore, GT has a significant opportunity to target impactful players who can transform their fortunes.
Here are three batters Gujarat Titans should consider targeting in the upcoming auction to enhance their chances of success.
1. Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer is a dynamic middle-order batsman known for his ability to anchor innings while also accelerating when needed.
His experience as a former captain of the Delhi Capitals( DC) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) adds leadership depth to any team.
With GT needing stability in the middle order, Iyer’s experience and skill set would be invaluable. His ability to rotate the strike and play big shots makes him an ideal fit for a batting lineup that requires depth and versatility.
2. Devon Conway
Devon Conway has emerged as one of the most consistent openers in T20 cricket, particularly after his performances in international cricket.
His calm demeanor and solid technique make him a reliable choice at the top of the order.
Adding Conway would provide GT with a strong opening partnership alongside Shubman Gill.
His ability to build innings and play aggressively when required can help set a solid foundation for the team.
3. David Warner
David Warner is a seasoned T20 veteran known for his explosive batting at the top of the order.
His aggressive style and extensive experience make him a valuable asset for any franchise.
With GT needing a strong opening partnership alongside Shubman Gill, Warner’s experience and ability to score quickly can provide the team with solid starts.
His leadership qualities could also be beneficial, especially as he has captained teams in high-pressure situations before.
