Gill is still unavailable to play Koetzi with Rabada?

As the Titans (GT) of Gujarat returns to the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday, the Redemption will be at the top of his agenda after a humble in the hands of Rajasthan Royals (RR). The Titans, who posted a difficult 209, was shaken-shocked by 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s historic 35-ball centenary-one tornado innings, inspired GT to defeat eight wickets.

However, the trade end with the trade end of IPL 2025, there is no reason for nervousness in the Titans camp. Shubman Gill’s men are well deployed with 12 points out of nine matches and are just two wins from a possible playoff berths. His campaign on stability and star power has seen continuously returns from both bat and ball. Sai Sudharsan (456 runs), Jose Butler (406 runs) batting trio, and Gill themselves (389 runs) continue to fear in opposition attacks.

Gujarat Titans: A large extent may be unchanged but Koetzi X-Factor

The Titans are expected to be unchanged from the top-order, with Gill, Sudarshan and Butler’s in-form trio, the nucleus of batting attempt was once again formed. Sherfen Rutherford, Shah Rukh Khan, Rahul Tawatiya, and Washington Sundar round out a middle order, capable of both acceleration and damage control.

While GT Kagiso waits on Rabada’s return – still unavailable for personal reasons – the question arises whether he should remain with Karim Janat. The Afghan all -rounder started a Bhulakad against Rajasthan, leaking 30 runs in the same over. With vision in the playoffs, there may be no luxury of patience in Titans. Enter the Garald Koetzi.

South African tears have been expressed raw speed and aggression – the kind of bowlers could thrive on the surface of Ahmedabad. Koetzi has an IPL experience with Mumbai Indians and has developed as a wicket -taking machine in T20. Since 2023, Coetzee has played 36 T20, 51 wickets at an average of 21.84 and a strike rate of just 13.9. While his economy (9.40) remains a task on progress, his ability to rati batsmen with speed makes him a real impact player option for GT.

GT has shown a desire to play with only two foreign players first, but with the growth of the playoff stex, selecting for Koetzi’s firepower can offer a decisive edge – especially against the SRH lineup that struggles for the flow at the top.
