Under Hardik Pandya’s leadership, Gujarat Titans clinched the IPL 2022 title, but in 2024, after Pandya was traded to Mumbai Indians, Shubman Gill took over as captain. Unfortunately, the team’s performance in IPL 2024 was disappointing, as they failed to qualify for the knockout stages and finished eighth in the standings, with just five wins from 14 matches.
