Rahmanullah Gurbaz is a viable choice, and it would be interesting to see him back with his former franchise. With Buttler remaining as their primary overseas goalie, GT needs a dedicated, high-impact backup keeper who can also serve as an aggressive top-order batter when required.

Gurbaz's arrival adds a versatile, high-energy reserve who can play two crucial roles (opening and keeper) with international quality. He is an explosive opening hitter who can step in if Buttler needs to rest or if an early wicket comes out on specific pitches. In 19 IPL matches, he has scored 363 runs at a strike rate of around 140.
