After failing to retain the title in the Indian Premier League 2023 season, Gujarat Titans’ (GT) endeavours will be to play quality cricket again in the 2024 installment of the cash-rich T20 league and take the trophy for the second time under their captain Hardik Pandya.
Titans have some incredible names in their team but the franchise will look to get rid of its players who have failed to perform up to the expectations. Before the IPL 2024 auction, GT will release their list of non-performing players, and some names are the favourites to feature in it.
Here are three players GT might release ahead of IPL 2024 auction
3. Shivam Mavi
Shivam Mavi hit the headlines in the IPL 2023 auction when he got signed up at INR 6 crore by Titans. The speedster’s domestic performance for Uttar Pradesh played a vital part in getting the lucrative contract from the IPL 2022 champions. However, GT didn’t give Mavi a chance to play any game in the competition.
With Mohammed Shami and Mohit Sharma strengthening GT’s pace attack incredibly, the Titans were bound to make Mavi warm the benches. The pacer also missed the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) 2023-24 due to a stress fracture and he is likely to miss crucial domestic tournaments.
India pacer’s poor fitness might go against him in the upcoming days. The 2022 champions have some exceptional pacers such as Shami, Mohit, and skipper Pandya in their squad so they might not hesitate to take the decision to include the 24-year-old in their release list.
