Chennai Super Kings, captained by MS Dhoni, will face Faf du Plessis and star Virat Kohli's team Royal Challengers Bangalore. Both the teams are present in Chennai for this match. Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans have also made their preparations and have announced the replacement of injured Mohammed Shami before the start of the season. Shami, who was out of the entire season due to an injury sustained during the World Cup, had to undergo surgery.
This player will play in place of Shami
Two days before the start of IPL 2024, on Wednesday, March 20, Gujarat Titans made changes in their team and announced the name of Sandeep Warrier. Sandeep will replace Shami in IPL 2024. Veteran Indian fast bowler Shami recently underwent successful surgery for his right heel problem and is currently recovering. Sandeep Warrier, who came in his place, has played 5 IPL matches so far. Gujarat Titans have included him in their team for Rs 50 lakh. If we look at Sandeep's IPL record, he has taken only two wickets in 5 matches. However, Warrior did not get much chance in IPL. He has played in IPL for KKR. Apart from this, he has also been a part of Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore. He plays for Kerala in domestic cricket.
The team will miss Shami
This time Gujarat Titans will play under the leadership of new captain Shubman Gill. Along with batting, there will be pressure on Gill as well as captaincy. Meanwhile, the team will miss an experienced bowler Shami. Shami was the highest wicket-taker in the IPL 2023 season. Meanwhile, it will be very interesting to see which bowler Shubman Gill will be given a chance to play in place of Shami.
Gujarat Titans team for IPL 2024
Shubman Gill (captain), Kane Williamson, Abhinav Manohar, David Miller, Matthew Wade (wicketkeeper), Vijay Shankar, Jayant Yadav, Wriddhiman Saha (wicketkeeper), Rashid Khan, Josh Little, Noor Ahmed, Rahul Tivatia, Darshan Nalkande, R Sai Kishore, B Sai Sudarshan, Mohit Sharma, Azmatullah Omarzai, Umesh Yadav, Shahrukh Khan, Sushant Mishra, Karthik Tyagi, Manav Suthar, Spencer Johnson, Robin Minz, Sandeep Warrier.
