Gujarat Titans won their opening encounter of IPL 2024 in some fashion! Playing at home, the 2023 IPL runners-up beat arch-rivals Mumbai Indians.
The win came after former captain, Hardik Pandya secured a homecoming transfer to Mumbai Indians. The Titans beat their neighbours by six runs, snatching the win from the jaws of defeat.
Ever since joining the IPL roster in 2022, the Titans have had a memorable journey so far. Two seasons and one match into the IPL, GT have secured the title once and finished runners-up in the second season.
Their head coach Ashish Nehra is an 'unsung hero' for GT's overwhelming success in the IPL. The former Indian pacer has been associated with the franchise since IPL 2022 and has been acknowledged for his man-management skills and tactical acumen.
