MOST DANGEROUS BOWLERS IN GUJARAT TITANS
IPL is one of the most viewed events among other domestic cricket leagues. The Indian Premier League contains ten teams and has a huge fan base globally. While all the teams have top-notch pacers from all around the world. Here’s a list of some of the most dangerous bowlers in Gujarat Titans
Most Dangerous Bolwers in GT
1. RASHID KHAN
Spin to the left. Spin to the right. Skid on straight. You are never quite sure of what Rashid Khan is going to serve. Labeled as a legspinner, Rashid Khan has a rainbow of variations in his bowling skills and has been the most-sought bowler, since his debut, in leagues all around the world. Interestingly, a lot of batsmen struggle to pick his variations as Rashid Khan barely changes his arm speed while delivering the ball.
In February 2017, Rashid fetched the highest bid for an Associate nation player ever, eventually having been bought by the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise for INR 4 crore. Rashid Khan soon became a vital player in Sunrisers’ line-up and his ability to bowl at any stage during the game made him almost indispensable for the team.
2. MOHAMMAD SHAMI
Initially part of his home franchise – Kolkata Knight Riders – Mohammed Shami got only a few opportunities. Post his impressive international debut, the Delhi franchise bought him for Rs. 4.25 crore in 2014.
Shami has been on quite the expensive side with the ball in the IPL. During the 2019 IPL auctions, Shami was roped in by Kings XI Punjab for Rs 4.40 crore. Having regained his name in white-ball cricket, Shami will be a vital cog for his current team Gujarat titans.

3. LOCKIE FERGUSON
Ferguson has featured in a few 50-over games for New Zealand and although his numbers are rough, there is no doubt regarding the impact he can provide for his team. Sometimes Lockie Ferguson struggles with his lines but with the amount of speed he generates, that is going to happen.
A batsman who struggles against the short ball needs to be wary of Ferguson. He mostly bowls attacking lines, hence the bowler’s economy rate is on the higher side but still an impressive player.
4. HARDIK PANDYA
Despite being predominantly known for his explosive batting, Hardik Pandya is no slouch with the ball. In fact, it was his all-around skills that caught the attention during the Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament culminating in him a national contract.
Pandya’s skills were duly noted when he was named in India’s ODI squad for the home series against New Zealand in the year 2016. By this time, he had worked on his swing bowling skills, troubling the batsmen with his troubling length.
5. JAYANT YADAV
Jayant Yadav is one of the rare players to have brought his way into the Test side with the sheer weight of domestic performances despite having stayed away from the glitz and glory of the IPL. A spin-bowling all-rounder who can play both his roles with equal proficiency, Jayant created a buzz immediately after he arrived at the Ranji scene in 2011. With his neat good-boy looks, was starting to slowly build his reputation as a domestic giant and was surely on the verge of greatness in a higher form of cricket.
After perfecting his spin-bowling skills over the years, along with his orthodox batting skills, Yadav has still managed to continue his steady climb through the ranks as his talent has been shining through the recent years. After topping Haryana’s wicket-taking records in 2014-15, he was qualitatively assessed as one of the smartest, most level-headed off-spinners in the nation.
