The Gujarat Titans won the first-ever season in the IPL when they made their debut in 2022. Under Hardik Pandya's captaincy, they were off to consecutive IPL finals but missed out on a major opportunity in their second season in 2023.
The former Indian cricketer, Aakash Chopra, pointed out that the Gujarat Titans are slightly overdependent on their top-order batters, and that might prove to be their biggest weakness in competing. He also highlighted the poor form of Jos Buttler, who has struggled significantly on good tracks as well.
Buttler was last seen playing for England in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, and it was probably the worst World Cup of his career. He could manage to score 87 runs in the 8 matches he played for England at an average of a mere 10.88.
"So will that be a bit of an issue for the Gujarat Titans? You want to start with Jos Buttler, but what if the form doesn't remain good? Both openers can't score runs every time," he added.
"The second challenge will be that if the top three don't do well," Aakash Chopra's stern warning to GT middle-order batters
If the top order fails to perform, the middle-order batters for the Gujarat Titans will be under immense pressure. "The second challenge will be that if the top three don't do well, there will be pressure on Nos. 4 to 6, in which there could be a bigger role for Washington Sundar, and Glenn Phillips might get to play games consistently," said Chopra.
Who will be the Gujarat Titans' top 4 overseas options?
The Gujarat Titans will have to pick wicket-keeper batter Jos Buttler, who contributes exponentially to the Titans' batting order. However, they will also have to pick Kagiso Rabada and Rashid Khan as the two other overseas cricketers in the side.
"If they keep Holder, they won't be able to play Kagiso Rabada. So one of Holder and Glenn Phillips might be seen playing. The right combination needs to be found quickly. So that is one challenge they will face," he added.
