IPL Auction Gujrat Titans: 5 Players GT will have their eyes on
The excitement for IPL 2025 is building, and each team is making plans for IPL Auction 2025. Gujarat Titans have several gaps to fill in their squad. Fans are looking forward to GT think-tank to bolster IPL 2025 squad with explosive talent. Here’s a look at IPL Auction Gujarat Titans strategy and potential targets.
1. Ishan Kishan
Gujarat Titans are a little short on power at the top of the order and they would look to plug the gap with an aggressive wicket-keeper batsman like Ishan Kishan. The pocket dynamo also has a strong chemistry with Shubman Gill, and the two would form an incredible opening pair.
Ishan Kishan IPL Stats
| Matches | Runs | Highest Score | Batting Average | 100 | Catches | Stumpings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 105 | 2644 | 99 | 28.43 | 0 | 51 | 5 |

2. Glenn Maxwell
GT is on the lookout for a power hitter in the middle order, and who is better than Glenn Maxwell among those in the auction pool. This was another key area where Gujarat IPL Team lacked last season and it won’t be a surprise if they go for spin-basher and proven middle-order enforcer in Glenn Maxwell.

| Matches | Runs | Highest Score | Batting Average | 100 | Wickets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 134 | 2771 | 95 | 24.74 | 0 | 37 |
3. Sam Curran
Sam Curran could once again attract a hefty price tag at the IPL auction. Gujarat Titans can make a bid for the England all-rounder since they are looking for impactful overseas talent.

4. Arshdeep Singh
India’s premier wicket-taking fast bowler will be on the radar of most franchises for the rare left-arm swing skill he has. GT captain Shubman Gill may ask the think-tank to prioritize Punjab-teammate Arshdeep Singh’s acquisition.

| Matches | Wickets | Best Figures | Bowling Average | 5-fer |
|---|---|---|---|---|

5. Kagiso Rabada
Wicket-taking overseas fast bowler is another role Gujarat Titans will look at. With spotlight on the likes of Mitchell Starc, Marco Jansen and Trent Boult, GT may target the South African quick KG who is a proven match-winner and a wicket-taking machine.
