The Titans have assembled a very talented squad and will be coached by former Indian Test, ODI and IT20 bowler Ashish Nehra.
Hardik Pandya will lead the new franchise and will be hoping for a change of form after his batting numbers fell for a second successive IPL season last year. He is a massive name and will bring a buzz to the side.
The Titans came into the auction with the signings of captain Hardik Pandya, spinner Rashid Khan and batter Shubman Gill already confirmed.
Star performer from IPL 2021, Lockie Ferguson, who was outstanding during the UAE leg of the tournament, was an excellent capture. As was Australian keeper-batter and T20 World Cup Winner Matthew Wade.
Alzarri Joseph, who registered the best bowling figures in IPL history of 6-12, was unsold in 2021 but is back in the tournament with Gujarat Titans in 2022.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz will replace Jason Roy in Gujarat Titans squad for IPL 2022.
Captain Hardik Pandya: The skipper has never scored more than one half-century in an IPL season but the management will be hoping that the responsibility of leading the team will bring the best out of him. He took 18 wickets in the 2018 tournament.
Rashid Khan: The Afghan leg-spinner has performed to a very high level in each of his IPL seasons from 2017 - 2021. He has taken between 17 and 21 wickets in each campaign and last year he recorded his best IPL strike-rate of 18.66.
Lockie Ferguson: The New Zealand pace bowler struggled for game time in the first half of the 2021 IPL but he was not far from unstoppable for Kolkata Knight Riders in the UAE. His form was one of the main reasons for KKR turning from no-hopers to Runners-Up.
Shubman Gill: The 22 year old was another player who came into form for KKR in the second half of the season. The Indian international scored 478 runs in total with 236 coming from the final five games, top scoring in four of those matches when they could not afford any defeats.

Although they have picked up some excellent players, question marks remain over the form of their captain and they may find themselves carrying a player or two.
Rashid Khan and Lockie Ferguson should ensure that the team is always in with a sniff irrespective of the batting total they can muster.
The bookmakers do not expect the Titans to make an instant impression on the IPL. Betway have Gujarat Titans as outsiders at 12.00. With Bet365, you can back them at 10.00 to win the tournament.
