Gujarat Titans won the IPL 2022 with contributions from all players. The team captained by Hardik Pandya somehow found ways to win and ultimately lifted the IPL 2022 trophy. They have retained their core team but will be looking forward to an even better team in the IPL 2023 Auction. There is no guarantee that the same team from last year will make them win another season of IPL. Gujarat Titans will be targeting a few explosive players in IPL 2023 Auction. What they need are a few X-factor players who can turn the game around in just a couple of overs. Here we have listed the five best players that Gujarat Titans are likely to go after in IPL 2023 Auction. Gujarat Titans have Rs 19.5 Crore left in their purse for the IPL 2023 Auction.
1- Rilee Rossouw
The left-handed batter Rilee Rossouw has blasted two international hundreds in T20Is this year. He is someone who can be slotted at number three in the team of Gujarat Titans. Rilee Rossouw can provide that impetus that Gujarat Titans need in the middle overs. His base price is Rs 2 Crore, and we can expect Gujarat Titans to spend about Rs 5 Crore to acquire him.
2- Harry Brook
If Gujarat Titans somehow fail to acquire Harry Brook, then they will go after Rilee Rossouw. Harry Brook has impressed people around the globe with his aggressive knocks in international cricket in the past few months. He is expected to fetch an astronomical amount in IPL 2023 Auction. Gujarat Titans may go up to Rs 10 Crore for him in the IPL 2023 Auction.
3- Cameron Green
Gujarat Titans can also target this all-rounder, who is making waves in the cricketing world. When Australia toured India before the 2022 World Cup, Cameron Green was the one player who surprised everyone. He is expected to fetch at least Rs 10 Crore at this auction, and Gujarat Titans will go bonkers for him in the IPL 2023 Auction.
4- Shakib Al Hasan
Shakib Al Hasan can be an unpopular choice for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023 Auction. He is an all-rounder who can be a perfect backup for Rashid Khan or Rahul Tewatia. Shakib Al Hasan is a big name in the cricketing world, yet to make an impactful performance in IPL 2023 Auction.
5- Nicholas Pooran
The left-handed wicketkeeper batter has always fetched a huge amount in IPL auctions. This year too many franchises will be bidding on him, and one of those franchises is likely to be Gujarat Titans. He is a destructive batter who is yet to live up to his name in the Indian Premier League. He is surely going to be a great buy for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023 Auction if they manage to acquire him.
