Gujarat Titans IPL team came, saw, and conquered the IPL 2022 season. It was a dream start for the franchise as they won the Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy in front of their home fans. With a few fresh additions in the IPL 2023 auction, Gujarat Titans will look to become the second team after Mumbai Indians to retain their title.
Gujarat Titans IPL Team Players
Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill, and David Miller scored almost 500 runs for Gujarat Titans last season. The trio is crucial to the franchise’s title hopes, and the fans will be hoping that Hardik will remain injury-free.
Gill has been in stellar form in Indian colors. He brought up his maiden Test hundred and hit an ODI double hundred against New Zealand. Meanwhile, Miller will continue to play the anchor role.
Kane Williamson, signed in the IPL 2023 auction, is a reliable player in the top order. The former New Zealand captain is likely to find a place in the playing 11. After scoring 317 runs in 11 innings last season, wicketkeeper-batter Wriddhiman Saha will look to replicate the same in the 16th edition. The 38-year-old hit three half-centuries and had a strike rate of 122.
The pace attack, led by Mohammad Shami, is one of the strengths of Gujarat Titans. He was the franchise’s leading wicket-taker last season with 20 wickets. Yash Dayal, Alzarri Joseph, Hardik Pandya, and new acquisitions Joshua Little, Odean Smith, and Mohit Sharma add more strength to the Gujarat Titans’ pace attack. Lockie Ferguson and Rahmanullah Gurbaz left for Kolkata Knight Riders.
Rashid Khan headlines the Gujarat Titans spin department. The Afghan spin king, who snapped up 19 wickets in IPL 2022, will be eyeing the 20-mark in the upcoming season. Left-arm orthodox spinner Sai Kishore and Afghanistan’s Noor Ahmad are the other spinners in the Gujarat Titans lineup. Sai made five appearances last season, while Noor is yet to make his IPL debut.

Captain of GT
Hardik Pandya leads the Gujarat Titans in IPL. The all-rounder led the franchise to 11 wins in 15 outings last year. After Rohit Sharma’s tenure, Hardik is likely to take over the white-ball captaincy from the ‘Hitman’. He recently guided India to a T20I series win over Sri Lanka at home.

Head Coach
Ashish Nehra struck gold in his first head coach role. The former fast bowler, who worked as the bowling coach of Royal Challenge Bangalore, guided the Titans to success in the 2022 season. Gary Kirsten is the batting coach, while Ashish Kapoor, Mithun Manhas, and Narender Negi are the assistant coaches.
Gujarat Titans IPL Team Schedule
Like other franchises, Gujarat Titans await the fixtures for the IPL 2023 season. The Ahmedabad-based franchise made a terrific start in their maiden IPL campaign, winning eight out of the nine opening matches. Hardik Pandya’s men beat Rajasthan Royals thrice and did the double over Chennai Super Kings. Mumbai Indians were the only side that didn’t taste a defeat against the champions.
