GT Auction 2022: Full list of players bought by Gujarat Titans on Day 1 of IPL 2022 Auction

Debutant Gujarat Titans impressed everyone with their tactics on the opening day of the IPL 2022 Auction. The Titans entered the mega auction with three players in their squad. They had roped in Hardik Pandya, Rashid Khan and Shubman Gill prior to the mega auction.

Their first pick of the IPL 2022 Auction was from the marquee set. They bid for Kagiso Rabada and Shreyas Iyer but failed to sign both of them. However, they managed to sign star Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami, who was one of the leading wicket-takers for the Punjab Kings in IPL 2021.

Apart from Roy, Gujarat have signed two more overseas players. They opted for Rashid's compatriot Noor Ahmad. The Titans signed him at his base price of ₹30 lakh. The Ashish Nehra-coached outfit went all out for Lockie Ferguson and spent a whopping ₹10 crore to acquire the Kiwi's services.
