NEW DELHI: The pressure will undoubtedly be on Shubman Gill<\/a> to guide Gujarat Titans back into the playoffs\u2014and ultimately, to their second IPL title. Expectations are high, thanks to the franchise’s impressive past performances.
Making their IPL debut in 2022, Gujarat Titans, under Hardik Pandya\u2019s captaincy, scripted history by winning the title in their very first season. They continued their dominance in 2023, reaching the final once again, only to fall short in a thrilling clash against Chennai Super Kings.<\/p>\n

However, 2024 was a different story. With Pandya\u2019s move to Mumbai Indians, the captaincy baton was passed to Shubman Gill, but the transition did not go as planned. Gujarat Titans endured a disappointing campaign, managing just 5 wins in 14 matches and finishing eighth, crashing out in the league stage.<\/p>\n

Now, with a revamped squad, Shubman and his team will be determined to turn things around in IPL 2025.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the IPL 2025 Auction, Gujarat Titans retained their core, including Rashid Khan<\/a>, Shubman Gill, B Sai Sudharsan, Rahul Tewatia, and Shahrukh Khan. They included England’s batting star Jos Buttler<\/a> (Rs 15.75 crore), Mohammed Siraj (Rs 12.25 crore), and Kagiso Rabada (Rs 10.75 crore) as their marquee signings in the IPL 2025 mega Auction.
With a fresh squad and renewed ambitions, will Gujarat Titans erase the 2024 disappointments and reclaim the IPL trophy?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at the SWOT analysis of the 2022 champions:<\/span>
Gujarat Titans will enter IPL 2025 with a formidable batting lineup. With a mix of proven batters and explosive all-rounders, the Shubman Gill-led side is expected to pile on the runs this season.
At the top, Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, Anuj Rawat, and Shubman Gill provide stability and firepower, ensuring solid starts for the team.<\/p>\n

The middle order is packed with big-hitters like Glenn Phillips, Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia, Mahipal Lomror, Sherfane Rutherford, Rashid Khan, and Washington Sundar, giving GT multiple match-winning options.
Gujarat Titans also boast a well-rounded bowling unit, with both spin and pace arsenals covered.<\/p>\n
