Gujarat Titans is an IPL cricket franchise based in the Ahmedabad city of Gujarat. They are one of the two teams that were founded in 2022. The other team is Lucknow Super Giants. The Ahmedabad-based outfit is owned by CVC Capital Partners. During the draft process, they had picked Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill, and Rashid Khan and had also appointed the India allrounder as their captain.
In their debut season, Gujarat Titans went on to create history as they became only the second team to win the title in their first season. The first team to achieve this feat was Rajasthan Royals who won the inaugural IPL season in 2008.
Before the 2024 season, Gujarat Titans had to appoint a new captain after Hardik Pandya was traded to Mumbai Indians. The star allrounder has been replaced by young Shubman Gill who will be leading an IPL franchise for the first time in his career. Gill is also the leading run-scorer for the franchise while Mohammed Shami has picked up the most number of wickets for the team.
