Shubman Gill

Gujarat's prince, Shubman Gill, one of their most priced possessions, had been handed over captaincy last season, which unfortunately did not usher the desired results. However, Gill's batsmanship cannot be questioned, and with Ashish Nehra at the helm, the young batter could usher in a new era for the franchise.

Rahul Tewatia

A crucial cog in Gujarat Titans' batting unit, Rahul Tewatia can turn the tide in his team's favour with both bat and ball. The explosive player has often under crunch situations carried the team past the finish line, making him indispensable. MS Dhoni Drops Massive Hint on Playing in IPL 2025!

Mohammed Shami

While fitness remains a concern, Mohammed Shami's skills with the new, old, semi-old, and wet-ball remain unmatched. Shami completes the bowling circle for Gujarat Titans, who have a knack for relying on speed, while all the discipline is given by the Indian pacer.

Rashid Khan

A spinner-par-excellence, Rashid Khan will be a massive loss if Gujarat does not retain the Afghanistan all-rounder, which can only happen in a parallel universe. Rashid's mastery with the ball remains unchallenged, something the Titans bank on for wins.  Rashid is also no joke with the bat and can use the long handle to perfection when needed.
