IPL 2025: 3 Game changers in GT squad

Gujarat Titans, the champions of the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League and the runners-up of the 2023 edition, is a strong team that is hurting. Having gotten used to the exceptional play right from their inaugural season, they would be looking ahead to the IPL 2025 to make their mark and register their second title victory.

They did not qualify last year for the playoffs and so decided to bolster the team at the mega auctions, a task which they did pretty well. They have built up a great squad for the upcoming season. Let us take a look at three players who might be the game-changers the team is looking for.

1. Glenn Phillips

Giving tough competition to the legendary Jonty Rhodes, Phillips has made his case extremely strong to arguably become the best fielder of all time. In all senses, he is a true 3D player who can turn the tide of the game with either of his skills all by himself.

He seems to be in the form of his life currently, scoring runs consistently and at a terrific pace. He has been an extremely handy option with the ball, making sure he becomes a wicket-taking option and not just a part-timer as a defending option.

And then his best skill of all, his athleticism. He is the best fielder at present and has been plucking out blinders regularly, making him the most dangerous to be around. If he would be having a bad game with the bat or ball, he would surely not be having one when fielding. Having him in the squad will surely become a boon for GT.

2. Rashid Khan

Rashid is a proven match-winner and has been doing his job consistently to fool the batters for the past many years now. He continues to evolve, making himself relevant and not becoming a mystery spinner who ultimately gets discovered and thrashed.

He has also been working on his batting skills, trying to improve his performance with the bat more consistently. He has already played several crucial knocks down the order and can surely be a menace for the opposition.

Making him a complete all-rounder, he has exceptional fielding skills as well and has been found taking some brilliant catches on the field. The magician with the ball surely is a man of many talents and will be playing a key role in the upcoming season as well.

3. Jos Buttler

Probably one of the best buys for the Gujarat Titans and one of the best steals in the mega auctions, Jos Buttler will surely be pumped as well playing at the Ahmedabad stadium. He is a runaway match-winner who has shown and proven his dangerousness in the shortest format of the game all around the world.

He has smashed a total of 3582 runs at a strike rate of 147.52 and with an average of 38.10 in 107 matches of the Indian Premier League. An intricate mixture of aggression and consistency, he has won the orange cap in the past for the Rajasthan Royals, his previous IPL team.

Snatching the games top of the order and becoming an aid to the skipper in tense situations would result in good signs for the Titans.
