IPL 2026: Top 3 Gujarat Titans batters to watch out for

On their given day, the Gujarat Titans (GT) can win a game on the back of their batting, regardless of the target in front of them. The Ahmedabad-based side have some of the best T20 batters in their ranks, which helped them secure third place in the previous IPL season. GT is another side in the 2026 edition that will rely heavily on its top order to come good if the team wants to go deep into the tournament.

The 2022 champions once again have a good mixture of international and Indian batters in their squad to balance things out. Though some of their batters might not be in the best of form coming into the tournament, there is no denying that the Shubman Gill-led side possesses enough pedigree to be serious match-winners.

Sai Sudharsan was the best batter in the 2025 season, as he won the Orange Cap for the first time in his career. He scored 759 runs at an average of 54.21 whilst striking at 157, registering a century along the way. The left-handed batter has been a consistent run-getter for GT ever since his debut for the franchise in 2022. A similar season to the last can take his side close to their second IPL title.

Sudharsan’s form heading to the 2026 IPL is also promising as far as GT fans are concerned. In his last T20 game, playing for Tamil Nadu against Saurashtra, the 24-year-old scored an unbeaten 101 off just 55 deliveries whilst opening the batting. He has since then played two List A games, scoring a total of 99 runs along the way.
