Gujarat Titans are in full swing for IPL 2026, with captain Shubman Gill joining the squad for intensive training. The pre-season camp at Nathdwara’s Miraj International Cricket Stadium marks the beginning of their journey toward another successful season. Their campaign kicks off on March 31 against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur, followed by a home clash with Rajasthan Royals on April 4.
The schedule’s first leg includes two home and two away matches, allowing the team to fine-tune strategies early. Gujarat’s track record speaks volumes: playoffs in three of four seasons and a championship win in 2022. To build on this, they’ve appointed Matthew Hayden, the explosive opener and World Cup hero, as batting coach, alongside Vijay Dahiya as assistant.
Hayden’s mastery of modern T20 batting will be invaluable, strengthening the support staff as the Titans aim high. Reflecting on IPL 2025, Gill’s captaincy guided them to the eliminator, despite a loss to Mumbai Indians. Gill scored 650 runs at 155 SR, while Sai Sudharsan dominated with 759 runs at 156 SR across 15 matches. With renewed vigor, Gujarat eyes glory.
