2025 Gujarat Titans season

TheGujarat Titans, also known asGT, are a professionalTwenty20 cricket team based inAhmedabad, Gujarat, that competes in theIndian Premier League (IPL). The home ground of the team isNarendra Modi Stadium inAhmedabad. The franchise is owned byTorrent Group andCVC Capital Partners. The team is captained byShubman Gill and coached byAshish Nehra.^[1] They won their maiden title in their debut season in2022 under captainHardik Pandya and secured the runners-up position the following season, in2023.

The Governing Council of the Indian Premier League issued an invitation to tender for two new sides in August 2021.^[2] A total of 22 companies declared an interest, but with a high base price for the new teams, there were no more than six serious bidders. TheBoard of Control for Cricket in India allowed a consortium of three companies or individuals to bid for each franchise. In October 2021,CVC Capital Partners won the rights to operate the Ahmedabad franchise with a bid of₹5,625 crore (US$670 million).^[3][4][5] Ahead of the IPL 2022 auctions, the franchise draftedHardik Pandya as their captain.^[6] In February 2022, the team was officially named Gujarat Titans.^[7][8]

In Feb 2025, Torrent Group has acquired a majority stake (67%) in the franchise, with CVC Capital Partners retaining a minority stake (33%).

Although their auction methods and their selections during their first-ever auction were considered weak, and the team was written off, the Titans surprised everyone with their performances, gaining their first win against fellow newcomersLucknow Super Giants. That win was the first in their inaugural campaign, which saw the Titans eventually win 10 of their 14 group matches, qualifying at the top of the table with 20 points. They then won the first qualifier againstRajasthan Royals, whom they would meet again in the final after their qualifier win againstRoyal Challengers Bangalore. Gujarat won the final by restricting Rajasthan to 130 on a pitch on which they were asked to bowl first, and chasing down the target with 11 balls to spare, which included Shubman Gill hitting the winning six off the first ball of the 19th over. Hardik Pandya was adjudged the Man of the Match for his bowling figures of 3/17 and his 34 from 30 balls with a strike rate of 113.33. Critics have praised Pandya's captaincy, bowling, and batting, with many agreeing that he and the management used their players well and worked as a team to win the tournament.^[9]

This win meant that Gujarat became the second team to win the IPL in their first season after Rajasthan Royals in the inaugural season.^[10]

Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians (also known as MI), are the main rivals of GT. This is a relatively new rivalry, but they have clashed in 8 games so far. Out of these 8 games, GT have won 5 and MI have won 3 times. MI won the first match in 2022, but GT beat them 5 times after that, with a win for MI in between. GT and MI's main clashes were in 2023 and 2025. In 2023, MI won the Eliminator againstLucknow Super Giants, and GT lost the first qualifier againstChennai Super Kings, which meant they had to face off against MI in the second qualifier. The match was in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, so GT had a home court advantage and won by 62 runs. In 2025, The two teams faced off in the Eliminator, and the match was in Punjab, so no one had a home court advantage. GT had defeated MI in every game since the second qualifier in 2023, but MI won by 20 runs, and advanced to the second qualifier. That means MI have won the most recent match.

The team anthem is 'Aava De'. It is written on the backside of the team's jersey. In the first IPL season, the song was sung byAditya Gadhvi. The team's other anthem for the IPL 2024 season is 'GT Karshe'.^[11][12]

Arun is the basic means ofscoring in cricket. A run is scored when the batsman hits theball with hisbat and with his partner runs the length of 22 yards (20 m) of thepitch.^[29][30]

A batsman'sbatting average is the total number of runs they have scored divided by the number of times they have been dismissed.^[64]

A half-century is a score of between 50 and 99 runs. Statistically, once a batsman's score reaches 100, it is no longer considered a half-century but a century.

Acentury is a score of 100 or more runs in a single innings.

Abowler takes thewicket of a batsman when the form of dismissal isbowled,caught,leg before wicket,stumped orhit wicket. If the batsman is dismissed byrun out,obstructing the field,handling the ball,hitting the ball twice ortimed out the bowler does not receive credit.

Bowling figures refers to the number of the wickets a bowler has taken and the number of runs conceded.^[91]
