5 reasons why Gujarat Lions lost the IPL at the auction table

#2 No genuine overseas pacer

Bravo hasn’t featured this year due to an injury

The Gujarat Lions team management not only failed to improve their Indian pace bowling department but also failed to add anything of quality in the department of overseas pace bowling.

The 2017 auction was a golden opportunity for the side to add an overseas quick bowler in their squad which included Dwayne Bravo, James Faulkner and Andrew Tye.

Having a genuine overseas pacer would have worked as insurance for the team in case of injuries or player unavailability issues. But it seems that the team was adamant in not picking any overseas pace bowler.
