IPL 2023: 3 best replacements for Rashid Khan in GT’s team if he misses the opening game of the tournament

3 players who can replace Rashid Khan in GT's team if he misses out on the opening match of IPL 2023. 

Gujarat Titans star spinner Rashid Khan has recently returned to play IPL 2023 after playing a 3 match T20I series vs Pakistan. Hence, there are high chances that he could miss the opening game against CSK on March 31 for workload management.

Here are 3 players who can replace Rashid Khan in GT’s team if he misses out on the opening match of IPL 2023:

1. Noor Ahmed

Noor Ahmad has played only two international matches for Afghanistan but he has already become a sought-after prospect in T20 leagues around the world. The left-arm wrist spinner could be a perfect replacement for Rashid Khan considering the talent he has.

2. Jayant Yadav

Jayant Yadav is a brilliant spinner. Though his action is very simple, batsmen find him difficult to read sometimes. In addition to bowling, he can contribute with his batting too, making him a perfect replacement for Rashid Khan. 

3. R Sai Kishore

R Sai Kishore’s place in GT’s playing 11 is not confirmed. However, he has high chances of getting added to the team if Rashid Khan misses out on a few games. The slow Left arm orthodox spinner has been very impressive in domestic tournaments.

GUJARAT TITANS: Hardik Pandya (c), Shubman Gill, David Miller, Abhinav Manohar, Sai Sudharsan, Wriddhiman Saha, Matthew Wade, Rashid Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Vijay Shankar, Mohammed Shami, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal, Pradeep Sangwan, Darshan Nalkande, Jayant Yadav, R. Sai Kishore, Noor Ahmad, Kane Williamson, Odean Smith, KS Bharat, Shivam Mavi, Urvil Patel, Joshua Little, Mohit Sharma.
