3 Players GT might release ahead of IPL 2023

In their debut Indian Premier League season, Gujarat Titans were terrific with their balanced performances in all the departments. They were the first team to qualify for the playoffs and had 10 wins in 14 league matches. In Qualifier 1 and Finals, GT secured a dominating victory over the Rajasthan Royals (RR).

Although the Titans ended as a winner, there surely were loopholes in the team, which were taken care of in the first half of the season. This move kept them stable for most of the second half, which helped them to perform well. This list of three players constitutes the ones not getting the opportunity or proving to be ineffective in their performances.

Let’s look at three players GT might release ahead of IPL 2023

1. Vijay Shankar

Often hailed as an all-rounder, Vijay Shankar has been rather ordinary with his performances in the last couple of editions. After getting dropped from the Indian team, he lost his form with the bat and is not bowling enough overs as well.

In the 2020 season, he scored 97 runs at an average of 24.25 and followed it up with only 58 runs in seven innings at 11.60. But the performances for Tamil Nadu in the 2021 edition of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy helped him to get a contract from Titans.

In a total of four appearances, Shankar could garner only 19 runs, with his scores reading as 4,13, 2, and 0. It looked like he didn’t have the confidence to score runs for the team, and got dismissed in a carefree way. He last played for GT in the first half and is the top contender to be released ahead of the next season.
