Having won the trophy in 2022, in what was their debut season, Gujarat Titans (GT) have lived up to their tag of champions.
The Titans are set to finish at the top of the IPL standings, with one game to go, which shows how far ahead they have been of other teams in the IPL. In 13 games, they have collected 18 points, more than any other side will after 14 games, with nine wins.
They have decimated almost every side that has come their way and have once again emerged as favourites for IPL 2023.
The best thing about the Titans has been their consistency and ability to bounce back after a defeat. GT are yet to lose back-to-back games this season and have excelled both batting and bowling departments with no particular reliance on one player.
