The Gujarat Titans is a professional cricket team that represents the state of Gujarat in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The team was founded in 2021 and is based in the city of Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The team plays its home matches at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera, which is one of the largest cricket stadiums in the world.

The Gujarat Titans have made an impressive start in the IPL, and they are currently the reigning champions, having won their maiden title in the 2022 season. The franchise is owned by CVC Capital Partners, a leading global private equity firm. The team is led by the talented all-rounder Hardik Pandya and coached by former Indian fast bowler Ashish Nehra.

With a strong squad of local and international players, the Gujarat Titans have quickly become a fan favorite and are known for their aggressive and exciting brand of cricket. They are looking to build on their recent success and establish themselves as a dominant force in the IPL.

In August 2021, the Indian Premier League Governing Council announced an invitation to tender for two new franchises, resulting in 22 companies showing interest. However, the high base price of the new teams resulted in only six serious bidders. To encourage more bidders, the Board of Control for Cricket in India allowed a consortium of three companies or individuals to bid for each franchise. In the end, CVC Capital Partners, a British private equity and investment advisory firm, won the rights to operate the Ahmedabad franchise with a bid of ₹5,625 crore (US$700 million) in the auction held in Dubai in October 2021.

Ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction, the newly-formed franchise picked Hardik Pandya as their captain and also included Shubman Gill and Rashid Khan in their team. The team was officially named Gujarat Titans on 9th February 2022. In their debut season, the Titans emerged as the champions of IPL 2022, thus marking a historic win in their first year in the league.
