Gujarat Titans pacer Shivam Mavi recalled an interesting story from the 2023 Indian Premier League auctions. He expressed that he was surprised when his auction stopped at ₹1.10 crore. He added that he was keen to be picked by the defending champions Gujarat Titans in the upcoming season.

Shivam Mavi had a base price of ₹40 lakh while entering the 2023 Indian Premier League auction. During his bidding, there was a bit of a pause at ₹1.10 crore, but he was eventually signed by the Gujarat Titans for ₹6 crores. The pacer expressed that he is excited to play for the franchise. He said,

“Like last year we won here. Now that I have joined them, I am thinking I want to help us be champions again. During the auctions, I was in Nagaland playing a Ranji Trophy match for Uttar Pradesh. You must have seen earlier that my auction stopped at ₹1.10 crore and I was wondering why it stopped so early.”

“I wanted to be picked by the Gujarat Titans because I was excited to play with them. Had heard that the management and the captain here are very good. I met all of them earlier. That nature and the atmosphere of the team is really good, that’s why I wanted to be picked by GT.”
