Gujarat Titans pulled off very cheap and smart deals when it comes to overseas players but got the uncapped Indian player at a seemingly high price.
Gujarat Titans (GT) IPL 2023 Auction 2023 Top Pick
Shivam Mavi 6 Crore
Surprisingly the defending champions Gujarat Titans went on to spend 6 Crore rupees for an uncapped Indian pacer. Mavi was with KKR for the last 3 years and he showed great potential but failed to cope with pressure in crunch situations.
It will be interesting to see whether the bold move of the champions will pay off or not. The captain Hardik Pandya’s batting position will also be an issue to look upon. In the previous season, he batted up in the order but the arrival of Williamson might push him down a bit in the batting order.
