IPL 2022: Gujarat Titans ditch Suresh Raina, sign THIS player as Jason Roy’s replacement
Zee News
Fans were hopeful of Gujarat Titans signing Raina as Roy’s replacement and they even pleaded the franchise to consider the same. However, Hardik Pandya-led GT chose Gurbaz over the former CSK star.
Gujarat Titans (GT) have signed Rahmanullah Gurbaz as a replacement for the England batter Jason Roy for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.
Gurbaz, an Afghanistan wicketkeeper-batter, has played 20 T20Is, and has 534 runs against his name with the help of 3 half-centuries and a strike rate close to 138 in the T20 internationals.
Apart from having a superb T20 strike rate as an opener, Gurbaz is also a handy keeper which makes him a multi-utility player. The most exciting aspect is the 20-year-old's ability to clear the ropes with 113 sixes in 69 career T20 games.
Welcome home, Gurbaz bhai!
