3 changes Gujarat Titans should make ahead of IPL 2027
The Titans pulled off a brilliant resurgence in the 2026 IPL season to reach the finals, where they were beaten by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru by five wickets.
1. Get more out of Jason Holder, the all-rounder
Jason Holder was one of the revelations of the 2026 season. Coming into the squad midway through, the big West Indies all-rounder became a mainstay for the Titans, bowling in the middle and death overs. He would build on the platform set by the new ball pair of Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj, troubling the batters with his hard lengths. He picked up 17 wickets in 11 matches, bowling at an economy rate of 7.56.
While Holder's contributions with the ball were vital to the Titans' success, he was almost limited to a finisher role with the bat. Holder has time and again proved that he is not just a six-hitter with the bat but has the technique and stroke play to hold an innings together. In a season where the Titans have, on occasion, needed a stabiliser who can also score runs and boundaries in the middle order, Holder's curbed role with the bat leaves a lot of unanswered questions.
