Their focus was on addressing the areas that needed improvement from the previous season, and the new signings have given the team a more balanced and complete lineup, making them strong contenders for IPL 2025.
One area the Titans needed to improve was their opening partnership. Last season, Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha opened the batting, but Saha had a tough time, putting extra pressure on Gill. As a result, the team struggled to capitalize on the powerplay overs.
To strengthen this area, Gujarat Titans brought in Jos Buttler, one of the most aggressive openers in world cricket. Buttler’s arrival provides the Titans with a solid opening pair for IPL 2025, with Buttler and Gill expected to form an exciting partnership at the top of the order.
Both Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler have been top performers in the IPL, each scoring over 3000 runs. Gill won the Orange Cap in 2023, while Buttler claimed it in 2022. Their ability to score heavily makes them one of the most dangerous opening pairs in the tournament.

Buttler, who was bought by Gujarat Titans for INR 15.75 crore, expressed his excitement about playing alongside Gill, calling him a true superstar.
I’m really excited to play under Shubman Gill. He’s a superstar of the game,”Buttler said.
With Buttler’s aggressive style and Gill’s more balanced approach, they will complement each other perfectly, allowing the duo to dominate the powerplay overs. With these two leading the charge, Gujarat Titans are set to have a strong opening partnership and can expect big runs from their top order in IPL 2025.
