Gujarat Titans (GT) will be eyeing their second title in IPL's forthcoming 2025 season. Under the leadership of Shubman Gill, GT will aim for a major turnaround.

The 2024 IPL season was a tough ride for GT as they finished eight in the points table. Gill’s debut year as GT captain didn’t yield desired results but the franchise has backed him for the upcoming year.

For 2025, the Titans have formulated a balanced squad. Jos Buttler, Glenn Phillips and Mohammed Siraj’s additions could be game changers.

Moreover, the franchise also picked up some underrated talent with great potential. Here are three such underdogs who can impress as an impact player for Gujarat Titans.

3. Anuj Rawat

Middle-order batter Anju Rawat is a promising young talent who previously had a breakthrough season with RCB in IPL 2022, scoring 129 runs in 8 games. In the following couple of seasons, RCB used him as an impact player on many occasions. 

However, his inconsistency turned out to be a major issue before RCB released him in a mega auction in 2025. Regardless, with GT, Rawat has an opportunity to resurrect his IPL career. 

Rawat, as a left-hander, provides the necessary balance to the lineup and can play the role of a finisher. In his 71-game T20 career, Rawat has amassed 1259 runs with a 120.70 strike rate. Hence, he has that flair to create a difference as an impact player.

2. Prasidh Krishna

Fast bowler Prasidh Krishna is also an excellent option for an impact player role for Gujarat Titans. Krishna is returning from an injury layoff and hasn’t played in IPL since 2022. Hence, GT might want to ease the workload off his shoulders. 

With Mohammad Siraj spearheading the bowling attack, Krishna can be used as support, especially with the new ball. His pace and bounce make him a lethal option, especially on hard pitches like Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. 

In 51 games played in IPL, Krishna has picked up 49 wickets with 8.92 economy. Hence, keeping his workload in mind, Prasidh Krishna becomes an ideal impact player option for GT.

1. Sai Kishore

Left-arm orthodox spinner Sai Kishore can also be a good impact player choice for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025. In two seasons with GT, Kishore has had limited opportunities, picking up 13 wickets in 10 games. 

However, his T20 career is quite impressive. The spinner has 80 wickets to his name in 70 games with a 5.92 economy. As a seasoned domestic player, Kishore has profound experience of bowling in Indian conditions. 

With Rashid Khan leading GT’s spin attack, Kishore can be the much-needed support system. He can bowl tight spells and create pressure so that Rashid can have an opportunity to click wickets with his deceptive variations.
