Captain: Suresh Raina

Coach: Brad Hodge

Gujarat Lions Biography

The newcomers of ninth-edition of IPL, Gujarat Lions, came into being after ban on previous franchises Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals. Where MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina were playing together for last 8 seasons will now be seen pitting against each other as they will be handling their respective franchises. GL is owned by youngest owner in IPL 9, Keshav Bansal – Director of Intex Technologies. GL have invested their money on the right people in order to make their presence felt on the first go. Raina has been a top-notch batsman in IPL and supporting him are World No 2 T20 batsman Aaron Finch and recently retired Brendon McCullum.

Even if he was not part of West Indies during T20 World Cup 2016, Dwayne Smith will now be seen playing for Gujarat Lions after his stint with CSK. GL also have set of all-rounders in place including Dwayne Bravo, James Faulkner and Ravindra Jadeja. Dinesh Karthik will be playing the role with gloves and looking at GL’s bowling attack everything falls in place. With likes of Dale Steyn, Dhawal Kulkarni, Praveen Kumar, Paradeep Sangwan and Andrew Tye, the pace attack will be ruled by Steyn, depending on his conditions.

As for medium pacers, the UP based Amit Mishra and Smith can take charge. The spin attack can be handed over to Shadab Jakati, who’s been exceptional in the previous editions of IPL along with Praveen Tambe. All in all GL look to be in top contention to come up victorious on their first stint.
