Gujarat Titans finished in 8th spot last season
Last season, skipper Hardik Pandya parted ways with the franchise and Shubman Gill was named the new skipper. However, GT could not replicate a similar show in the last two seasons.
Gujarat Titans won the title in the 2022 season and ended as runners-up in the 2023 season, however, they finished in the 8th spot in the points table in IPL 2024.
The Shubman Gill-led side won 5 games and lost 7 out of 14. Two games ended with no result due to rain. With just 12 points in their kitty, they were among the worst three performers of the season.

Sai Sudharsan and Mohit Sharma were top performers for the side last season
Notably, Sai Sudharsan arrived with another impeccable show for Gujarat Titans last season. The left-handed batsman slammed 527 runs in 12 games at a stunning 47+ average. He also shattered a century and 2 half-centuries.
Shubman Gill followed him with 426 runs in 12 games at 147+ strike rate and 38+ batting average. Gill also slammed a ton in the season. However, the rest of the batters could not cross even 250 runs in the season.
Among bowlers, Mohit Sharma arrived with a marvellous show once again. He got 13 wickets in 12 games, however, he was a bit costly at 10.89 this time. Rashid Khan played 12 matches and grabbed 10 wickets for the side.
Hence, GT needs to make more changes in their squad as most of their members could not come up with impressive shows last season. However, with a powerful batter like Shubman Gill in the lead, they can form a strong squad during the IPL auction 2025.
