CHENNAI: After a three-year association with Punjab Kings, big-hitting Tamil Nadu batter Shahrukh Khan will embark on a new IPL journey at Gujarat Titans, who paid a hefty fee of Rs 7.4 cr to task him with finishing duties.
At the auction in Dubai on Tuesday, the IPL 2022 champions Gujarat showed great interest in the 28-year-old, winning a bidding battle that also involved Punjab. Shahrukh will have the company of seasoned campaigners David Miller and Rahul Tewatia during the death overs. Gujarat needed a hard-hitting Indian middle-order batter after Hardik Pandya left and Shahrukh fitted the bill.
