3 Gujarat Titans (GT) bowlers to watch out for in IPL 2024

One of the two new teams announced prior to the start of the 2022 season was the Gujarat Titans. For around US$750 million, or Rs 5625 crore, CVC Capital Partners won the franchise auction. Prior to the 2022 auction, they selected Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, and Hardik Pandya.

Titans became only the second team after Rajasthan Royals to win the title in their first season. In 2023, the Titans looked like the best team on show, with Mohammed Shami and Rashid Khan taking bagfuls of wickets and opener Shubman Gill peaking in a blaze of batting form towards the pointy end. But MS Dhoni's CSK crew bested them twice in the final three matches to snatch the title from the Titans' grasp.

The prime reason behind the magic of Titans has been their bowlers and their magical performances. Interestingly, in the last season, it was Titans' bowlers who occupied all three spots in the list of highest wicket-takers. 

Here are three bowlers who can play a significant role for Gujarat Titans:

Mohammed Shami

Shami had a scintillating performance in the last ODI World Cup and was key in India’s sensational performance throughout the tournament. Playing all 17 matches in the last edition, he had picked up as many as 28 wickets and was the winner of the Purple Cap as well. He has been the spearhead of the quality bowling line-up that Gujarat Titans possess.

He has been out of the cricket circuit after India lost the finals due to an injury. There are speculations about his availability and the number of matches he will play if he does so. But one thing is sure whenever he does play, he would be a bowler to watch out for.
