Gujarat Titans – The Surprise Package

For a team to top the points table in their debut season is quite an achievement and Gujarat Titans have done that with some splendid individual performances and team contribution. At the beginning, nobody would have imagined that a team playing their first season in IPL would play so well. Credit goes to the captain Hardik Pandya (413 runs ,4 fifties) who has led from the front and Shubman Gill (403 runs, 4 fifties). The bowling department has been spearheaded by Mohd Shami (18 wks, 7.77 economy) and Rashid Khan (18 wks, 6.94 economy)
