4. Chris Woakes

Chris Woakes is another medium-pace all-rounder Gujarat Titans can target in the IPL 2024 auction. Woakes has shown a wonderful form in 2023. The England pacer won the Player of the Series award during Ashes 2023. The right-arm pacer hunted 10 wickets in 8 games during ICC World Cup 2023. He also scored a half-century in one game.

3. Lockie Ferguson

Gujarat Titans have parted ways with some pacers like Alzarri Joseph, Shivam Mavi, and Yash Dayal in the IPL 2024 auction. All of these played for the team during the last season. However, the team had to shuffle them during the game due to their inefficiency.

To grab a powerful pacer, the team can go ahead with Lockie Ferguson. In the recent ICC World Cup 2023, Ferguson hunted 10 wickets in 7 games. He showed a wonderful performance but has to be benched due to injury.
