IPL 2023 Auction: 3 Players Gujarat Titans (GT) Can Target
BEN McDERMOTT
Australia’s Ben McDermott is in fascinating form. He scored 577 runs in the 11 edition of the BBL and was also named the player of the tournament. To add to this, the Hurricanes opener also became the first player in BBL to score two back-to-back hundreds last season. He was also instrumental in guiding Australia to the 4-1 victory against Sri Lanka.
The 27-year-old is a very destructive batter and can clear the ropes easily. He can be a valuable asset to the team at the top of the order. The Gujarat Titans can surely look to target him in the upcoming IPL 2023 mini-auction.
DANIEL SAMS
Daniel Sams was acquired by Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2022 mega auction for Rs 2.6 crores. He played 11 matches for MI last season, picking 13 wickets. This performance was not good enough for the franchise to retain him for this season. We all know Daniel Sams is a power-packed player. His death bowling specialty stands him apart from the rest.
Daniel Sams can be a good option for Gujarat Titans going forward in the IPL 2023 mini-auction. He can also swing the new ball. His contribution with the bat can also be useful in situations when the team needs quick runs lower down the order.
PRIYAM GARG
Priyam Garg was one of the players who was released by Sunrisers Hyderabad in this edition. He could get only 2 games to play in IPL 2022 and scored 46 runs. Priyam Garg is a talented right-handed batter who can play a vital role in the middle order for Gujarat Titans. His performance in the domestic circuit has been good this year. The team management can bank on him to provide extra cushion to the batting order.
