3 Gujarat Titans (GT) Players That Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Can Target In IPL 2023

Gujarat Titans won their maiden IPL title in their very first year in the IPL. They defeated Chennai Super Kings in both the matches they played against each other in IPL 2022. The Hardik Pandya-led side became the second side after Rajasthan Royals in 2008 to win the title in their debut season.

Heading into their second season, they would like to release some of the players from their side to buy some new players to stack up their side for the future. The GT management tried their best in the IPL 2022 mega auction to buy some of the best T20 players in the world and they succeeded.

The mini-auction ahead of IPL 2023 is now a chance for CSK to buy some of the best players from the Titans as they look to revamp their side. In this article, we take a look at three players from Gujarat Titans whom CSK can target ahead of IPL 2023.

3 Gujarat Titans (GT) Players That Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Can Target In IPL 2023

Rahul Tewatia

Tewatia had a brilliant debut season with Gujarat Titans. He scored 217 runs in 16 games for Gujarat who primarily used him as a finisher. He along with David Miller won his side a few games almost singlehandedly. The Titans might be tempted to release him in order to buy a better all-rounder at number six from the other teams. This gives CSK a chance to snap him up for a much lesser price. Despite his best efforts, Tewatia was not included in the Indian T20I squad for the Ireland trip. His snub became a debatable topic after the squad was announced.

Matthew Wade

Wade did not have the best of comebacks in the IPL. Despite being given consistent opportunities at the top of the order, the southpaw failed to score runs. His inconsistency might well seem him get released by the franchise.

As Chennai Super Kings is looking to revamp, they can buy Wade as a potential backup for MS Dhoni. He is 34 and has a few years of cricket still left in him. CSK can use the experience of this veteran Australian cricket who is a gutsy player and a tough cookie.

Mohammed Shami

If Mohammed Shami is released by Gujarat Titans, he should be picked up at all costs by CSK. There have been cases previously when teams have released their best players in order to find the perfect team combination and Punjab Kings did the same with Shami before the IPL 2022 mega auction. It will be interesting to see how Gujarat deals with the veteran Indian pacer.
