Gujarat Titans IPL 2027 Team Profile

Gujarat Titans: franchise history

Gujarat Titans are the Ahmedabad-based franchise that entered the Indian Premier League for the 2022 season as one of two expansion teams. Before the branding was revealed, contemporary coverage described it as the league’s new Ahmedabad franchise; on 9 February 2022, the franchise announced the name Gujarat Titans. That is the relevant naming history: the club was not a renamed predecessor of an earlier IPL side, but a newly introduced Ahmedabad team adopting the Gujarat Titans identity for its debut.

The debut immediately became the defining chapter of the Titans’ early history. Led by Hardik Pandya, Gujarat lost only four of its 16 matches in the 2022 campaign, then defeated Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets in the final at Ahmedabad. The victory made GT champions in their first IPL season, a rare start for a new franchise, and remains their only IPL title. The 2022 success was built on a balanced campaign rather than a single knockout result: the team combined enough wins during the league phase with a successful playoff run and completed the final chase against Rajasthan.

Gujarat returned to the final in 2023, but Chennai Super Kings won that match, leaving GT runners-up. The franchise reached the championship match again in 2026. In that final, at Narendra Modi Stadium, Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Gujarat by five wickets while chasing 156, so GT finished runners-up for a second time. Taken together, the record through the 2026 season is one title (2022) and three final appearances (2022, 2023 and 2026).

Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is the team’s listed venue on the IPL site and was also the setting for the 2022 and 2026 finals cited above. The official Gujarat Titans website currently labels its displayed squad “Squad 2026”; it does not present an official 2027 roster in the pages checked. Accordingly, no 2027 player list is supplied here. This profile deliberately separates established club history from future roster information: the 2026 squad or retention list should not be treated as a 2027 squad.
