Gujarat Titans (GT): Strengths and Weaknesses
The Gujarat Titans strengthened their bowling department with Mohammed Shami and Lockie Ferguson for IPL 2022. The combination of the two can tear the opposing team's defense. Apart from Hardik Pandya, a versatile player with strong batting and bowling powers, ex-Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) bowling batsmen Shubham Gill is also relied on in this team.
Even though in Gujarat the Titans had big names on their team, such as Matthew Wade, David Miller, Hardik Pandya (Captain), their performances in the IPL last season were uneven. Hardik Pandya has been out injured for most of the year and it could well affect his form to contribute to the Gujarat Titans team on the scoring front.
