The defending champions, Gujarat Titans were terrific with their all-round efforts to go all the way in their debut season last year. Although they had most of their bases covered, the franchise needed a reliable scorer in the middle order, preferably an overseas player. Apart from picking experienced Kane Williamson, the team picked experienced pacers like Joshua Little and Shivam Mavi. Their Playing XI certainly looks exciting, with experienced players in the shortest format of the game.
