GT: 5 things to watch out for in IPL 2024

Ahead of the 2024 Indian Premier League, we take a look at five things former champions Gujarat Titans need to watch out for

The conversation surrounding the GT ahead of IPL 2024 mainly revolves around Hardik Pandya’s shock move to MI and whether newly-appointed skipper Shubman Gill fill the void this season

Pandya’s not the only major name missing from this year’s GT squad, with pacer Mohammed Shami ruled out due to injury and it remains to be seen who leads the attack this year, whether Mohit Sharma or Umesh Yadav

While Shami has been ruled out after undergoing ankle surgery, star leg-spinner Rashid Khan is making a comeback after a surgery on his lower back and it remains to be seen if he can regain his golden touch right away

Azmatullah Omarzai had a terrific run in last year’s ICC World Cup where he contributed to Afghanistan’s spirited run both with bat and ball and could end up filling the void left behind by all-rounder Pandya 

There’s plenty of buzz surrounding Jharkhand’s Robin Minz, the first tribal cricketer in the IPL, and while Wriddhiman Saha’s likely to continue in the wicketkeeper-batter’s role for now, Minz might just be his successor down the road
