Having left everyone in shock and by post winning the IPL title on their debut appearance last season, the Gujarat Titans have begun the ongoing 16th season on a similar note of dominance, by winning the first two matches in a comprehensive manner.

Despite all the question mark over their squad composition last year, where fans and experts doubted the squad’s caliber which had a dearth of the big superstars of T20 Cricket, one of the Titans would always pick their hand up and take the team over the line.

While the team skipper Hardik Pandya credited the head coach for bringing the best out of him and thrusting the much-needed confidence in the entire team, he also was in all praise for the support staff which made sure that the team environment was always relaxed and chilled out throughout the season.

Having retained the support staff personnel from the previous season, including the think-tank as well, GT look to go for for glory in a brand new season as well.
