With the ouster of Hardik Pandya, Gujarat Titans will need a powerful pace all-rounder in their squad during the IPL 2024 auction. Hence, they are likely to go for Shahrukh Khan. He is a medium-pace all-rounder who was part of Punjab Kings in the last few seasons. He is a hard-hitting lower-order batsman like Pandya.

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.

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.

2. Shardul Thakur

Shardul Thakur is another powerful pacer Gujarat Titans can look out for during the IPL 2024 auction. The right-arm pacer has been dropped by Kolkata Knight Riders. However, Thakur has a lot of experience in the Indian Premier League.

He also makes regular appearances on the national team. He was part of the CSK team that won the title in the 2018 and 2021 seasons. His addition of Mohammed Shami can settle GT’s issues in the pace department.

1. Josh Hazlewood
