Franchise history
The Governing Council of the Indian Premier League issued an invitation to tender for two new sides in August 2021.[7] 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. The Board 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 โน5,625 crore (US$660 million).[8][9][10] Ahead of the IPL 2022 auctions, the franchise drafted Hardik Pandya as their captain.[5] In February 2022, the team was officially named Gujarat Titans.[11][12]
Team history
Summarize
Perspective
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 newcomers Lucknow 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 against Rajasthan Royals, whom they would meet again in the final after their qualifier win against Royal 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.[13]
This win meant that Gujarat became the second team to win the IPL in their first season after Rajasthan Royals in the inaugural season.[14]
Team identity
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 by Aditya Gadhvi. The team's another anthem for the IPL 2024 season is 'GT Karshe'.[15][16]
Home ground
The team's home ground is the Narendra Modi Stadium, which is situated in Motera, Gujarat.[17]
