Will Gujarat Titans Win Again This Season?
The truth is that it’s still too early to tell whether Gujarat Titans will get a back-to-back IPL championship. However, based on the team’s lineup this season, it seems like GT is serious about getting another win.
GT was able to get the seventh most expensive player this year, Shivam Mavi for 6 Cr. Mavi will surely add variety to the already power-packed team alongside Shami, Rashid Khan, and Alzarri Joseph. Having Irish player Joshua Little also helped strengthen the team with his effective bowling.
Wicketkeepers Bharat and Patel are also a nice addition to the team.
