The new franchise Gujarat Titans will start their campaign in the Indian Premier League on March 26. They have bought important players from the IPL 2022 mega auction. However, recently, Titans also revealed the names of their net bowlers and Mohit Sharma was one of them as well. However, according to reports, Gujarat Titans have added Left-arm pacer Barinder Sran and senior bowler, Mohit Sharma, as net practice bowlers for the upcoming cash-rich league. Both of them went unsold at the IPL 2022 mega auction.
However, fans of Chennai Super Kings and Mohit Sharma were not happy with this and they reacted in certain ways as well. Notably, Mohit Sharma has played for Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals and King XI Punjab (Punjab Kings). In IPL 2014, he also won the purple cap as he was the best bowler of the tournament where he took 23 wickets in 16 matches with an economy rate of 8.39 as well.
