The top three of Gujarat Titans — Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler — have been the backbone of their batting line-up. The trio has consistently ensured that at least one of them stays till the end to see the team through.

Sai Sudharsan

has been the standout performer with 365 runs at an average of 52.14 and a strike rate of 153.36. Jos Buttler has matched him toe-to-toe with 315 runs at an average of 63 and a strike rate of 164. Shubman Gill has also chipped in with 215 runs so far.

Apart from them, Sherfane Rutherford has contributed with important cameos. In the bowling department, Prasidh Krishna has been their standout performer, picking up 14 wickets at an average of 14.35 and an economy of 7.44. He is currently the purple cap holder. Spinner Sai Kishore and pacer Mohammad Siraj have also been impressive, with 11 wickets each so far.
