Gujarat Titans' strengths & weaknesses

Strengths

The bowling mayhem

With Rashid Khan and ODI World Cup 2023 superstar Mohammed Shami, the Titans' bowling will stay strong as they embark on their third IPL season.

Suitable batting line-up

The Titans will have a decent batting squad with Gill, Saha, Miller, and more on the team. 

Weakness

A Rookie Skipper

With Hardik Pandya traded off to the Mumbai Indians, the Titans have appointed Shubman Gill, who has less captaincy experience, as their new captain. While he has led his team on a domestic level, taking charge of an IPL team will not be a straightforward task.
