For Gujarat Titans, Shubman Gill, David Miller, and Kane Williamson are our top picks with the bat. Miller showcased his prowess with a strike rate of 145.51 in the previous IPL, amassing over 10,000 T20 runs.

Meanwhile, Rashid Khan’s exceptional record includes 564 T20 scalps, with 27 wickets in the 2023 IPL at a remarkable average of 14.89 balls per dismissal.
