Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025: What Makes Them Strong and What Holds Them Back

GT Strengths and Weaknesses for IPL 2025

After winning their first IPL in 2022 season a year after their first year in IPL, Gujarat Titans are still hungry to prove themselves as a powerful franchise in the Indian Premier league. With a formidable squad, here’s a look at GT strengths and weaknesses for IPL 2025. 

GT Strengths For IPL 2025

Dependable Batting Lineup

Gujarat Titans probably has three of the best batters in the tournament. Jos Buttler, a T20 batter with nearly 12,000 runs, 8 centuries, and over 500 sixes, who has explosive energy. Their captain Shubman Gill, who prove to be a stable, has scored over 3,200 IPL runs, including 4 hundreds and 20 fifties, and 890 of those have been scored in IPL 2023 alone which won him the orange cap. Sai Sudharsan, with 527 runs at 47.90 last season, ensures surprises. The trio’s aggression and reliability can prove to be difficult for opposition bowlers, promising GT solid starts more often than not, setting a strong foundation for their innings.

Variations of Pace Bowling 

Gujarat Titan’s pace attack is their ultimate strength, offering depth and flexibility. Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj lead with new-ball precision and death-over nous, Rabada averaging 17.12 in the final overs will be crucial. Gerald Coetzee adds firepower, while Prasidh Krishna and Ishant Sharma bring experience. Karim Janat, an Afghan all-rounder with 117 wickets and nearly 2,500 runs, enhances versatility. This pace lineup allows GT to dominate all phases, adapting to any batting lineup with skill and variety.

GT Weaknesses For IPL 2025

No Reliable Middle-Order Batter

Although Gujarat Titans have a strong top order, Gujarat Titan struggles to find a middle-order finisher. Shahrukh Khan, Anuj Rawat, and Sherfane Rutherford remain unproven in clutch IPL scenarios. Rawat’s 119.10 strike rate and Shahrukh’s inconsistency could falter under pressure, especially if the top order fails in crucial matches, which will leave GT vulnerable in tight chases or crunch moments.
