Gujarat Titans are not a quiet team.
They arrived in 2022 as complete underdogs. Nobody expected much. Four seasons later, they have an IPL title, a runners-up finish, and a reputation as one of the most consistent teams in the league.
This page covers everything about Gujarat Titans standings — their IPL 2025 performance, the full season-by-season record, how to read the points table, and what their IPL 2026 squad looks like heading into the next season.
Let’s go.
Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025: Final Standings
In IPL 2025, Gujarat Titans finished the league stage in 3rd place with 18 points from 14 matches — winning 9 and losing 5.
Here is their final IPL 2025 league stage standing:
| Position | Team | Matches | Won | Lost | Points | NRR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Punjab Kings | 14 | 10 | 4 | 20 | +0.372 |
| 2 | Royal Challengers Bengaluru | 14 | 9 | 5 | 18 | +0.511 |
| 3 | Gujarat Titans | 14 | 9 | 5 | 18 | +0.489 |
| 4 | Mumbai Indians | 14 | 8 | 6 | 16 | +0.300 |
| 5 | Delhi Capitals | 14 | 7 | 7 | 14 | +0.150 |
GT qualified for the playoffs in 3rd place. They had the same points as RCB but a slightly lower NRR — which is why they finished third.
The IPL 2025 Playoffs: What Happened to GT?
Gujarat Titans reached the IPL 2025 Eliminator, where they faced the Mumbai Indians. Despite having beaten MI twice in the league phase, MI won the Eliminator by 20 runs and advanced to the next round.
That was the end of GT’s 2025 campaign.
The road to the playoffs looked like this:
- ▶ March 22 — Season opens. GT lost to Punjab Kings by 11 runs.
- ▶ March onwards — GT bounce back hard. Four wins in a row. Climb to the top of the table.
- ▶ Mid-season — GT goes on a dominant run. They chased down 200 against the Delhi Capitals with Jos Buttler hitting an unbeaten 97.
- ▶ April 21 — GT beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 39 runs. Shubman Gill scores 90 off 55 balls. GT move two points clear at the top.
- ▶ May — The tournament is suspended for one week due to India-Pakistan border tensions. When it resumes, GT clinch their playoff spot with a 10-wicket win over Delhi Capitals.
- ▶ May 30 — GT plays the Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator. MI wins by 20 runs. GT is eliminated.

Gujarat Titans: All-Season Standings History
Here is GT’s complete record since they joined the IPL in 2022:
| Season | Position | Matches | Won | Lost | Points | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IPL 2022 | 🥇 1st | 14 | 10 | 4 | 20 | 🏆 Champions |
| IPL 2023 | 2nd | 14 | 10 | 4 | 20 | 🥈 Runners-Up |
| IPL 2024 | 8th | 14 | 5 | 7 | 10 | ❌ No Playoffs |
| IPL 2025 | 3rd | 14 | 9 | 5 | 18 | ❌ Eliminated (Eliminator) |
The four-season story in one line each:
- 🟢 2022 — Complete shock. The new team wins the title in their very first season.
- 🟢 2023 — Almost did it again. Lost the final to CSK on the last ball.
- 🔴 2024 — Rough season. Lost Hardik Pandya to MI. Missed playoffs entirely.
- 🟢 2025 — Strong comeback. 3rd place, playoffs, but knocked out by MI.
How Do IPL Standings Actually Work?
New to cricket? No problem. Here is how the points table works — explained.
The Basics:
- 10 teams play each other twice during the league stage
- Win = 2 points | Loss = 0 points | No Result = 1 point each
- The top 4 teams after 14 matches make the playoffs
What is NRR (Net Run Rate)?
NRR is the tiebreaker. When two teams have the same points, the team with a better NRR ranks higher.
Think of it like this: if you and a friend both score 18/20 on a test, but you finished faster, you get the higher rank. NRR is cricket’s version of “how fast and how convincingly you won.”
Formula (simplified):
NRR = (Runs scored ÷ Overs faced) − (Runs conceded ÷ Overs bowled)
Higher NRR = better. A positive NRR (+0.489) means GT scored faster than their opponents on average. A negative NRR means the opposite.
IPL 2025 GT NRR: +0.489 — strong enough to qualify for the playoffs.
The Playoff System Explained Simply
| Stage | Teams | Who Advances |
|---|---|---|
| Qualifier 1 | 1st vs 2nd | The winner goes to the final |
| Eliminator | 3rd vs 4th | The loser goes home |
| Qualifier 2 | Loser Q1 vs Winner Eliminator | The winner goes to Final |
| Final | Q1 Winner vs Q2 Winner | IPL Champion crowned |
- GT in 2025: Finished 3rd → played Eliminator vs MI → lost → season over.
- GT in 2022: Finished 1st → played Qualifier 1 → won → went to Final → won the title.
The lesson: Finishing in the top 2 gives you TWO chances to reach the final. Finishing 3rd or 4th gives you only ONE chance. That’s why teams fight hard for the top two spots.
The Star Players Behind GT’s Standings
No standings exist without the players who earned them. Here are the key figures who shaped GT’s journey.
Shubman Gill — Captain and Heartbeat
Gill has been the Gujarat Titans’ most important player since day one. He was the Orange Cap winner in IPL 2023, scoring 890 runs — the highest in a single IPL season at that time. He carried that form into 2025, topping the run charts again with his consistent half-centuries and commanding the top of the order with composure beyond his years.
As captain, Gill doesn’t just score runs. He sets the tempo. The way he bats in the first six overs directly sets up everything that follows.
Shubman Gill — Quick Numbers:
| Season | Runs | Position |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 483 | Key Player |
| 2023 | 890 | 🏆 Orange Cap |
| 2024 | Below 500 | Off-form season |
| 2025 | 500+ | Back in top form |
Sai Sudharsan — The 2025 Season’s Breakout Star
If Gill is GT’s engine, Sudharsan in 2025 was the turbo. He scored 759 runs in IPL 2025 at a strike rate above 156, with six fifties and a century — claiming the Orange Cap and establishing himself as one of the most exciting young batters in India.
He bats with a calmness that belies his age. The technique is solid. The temperament is even better.
Prasidh Krishna — The Purple Cap Winner
Prasidh Krishna topped the wicket charts with 25 wickets in IPL 2025 — winning the Purple Cap and emerging as GT’s most consistent bowling threat through the season.
He bowls with intelligent use of pace variation, yorkers at the death, and the ability to take key wickets in the powerplay. In 2025, he was arguably GT’s most valuable player overall.
Rashid Khan — The Wildcard Who Never Lets You Down
Rashid Khan is one of the most dangerous spinners in T20 cricket anywhere in the world. His googly is almost unreadable. His economy rate stays below 7 even in the highest-scoring conditions. And when he bats at the end, he hits sixes that nobody predicted.
He has been with GT since their debut in 2022 and remains central to their identity.
Gujarat Titans IPL 2026: Full Squad
GT retained a settled core of 20 players for IPL 2026, adding five new faces at the mini-auction in Abu Dhabi in December 2025 — Jason Holder, Tom Banton, Luke Wood, Ashok Sharma, and Prithvi Raj.
Complete IPL 2026 Squad:
| Role | Players |
|---|---|
| Batters | Shubman Gill (C), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, Shahrukh Khan, Kumar Kushagra, Anuj Rawat, Tom Banton |
| All-Rounders | Rashid Khan, Washington Sundar, Rahul Tewatia, Glenn Phillips, Arshad Khan, Nishant Sindhu, Jason Holder |
| Bowlers | Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada, Sai Kishore, Ishant Sharma, Jayant Yadav, Manav Suthar, Gurnoor Brar, Luke Wood, Ashok Sharma, Prithvi Raj |
- Big addition: Jason Holder — the West Indies all-rounder with 418 international wickets across formats — joins GT for IPL 2026. His experience and ability to contribute with both bat and ball add serious depth to GT’s lineup.
- Big name staying: Kagiso Rabada, one of the fastest bowlers in the world, pairs with Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj to give GT one of the most frightening pace attacks in the tournament.
Will GT Win IPL 2026?
GT enters IPL 2026 with a settled squad, a proven captain, and clear lessons from 2025.
Their strengths are obvious — the top three of Gill, Sudharsan, and Buttler are as good as any top order in the IPL. Their bowling depth, anchored by Prasidh Krishna and Rabada, is formidable.
Their challenge is the same one that ended their 2025 season: the middle order needs to be more reliable, and the bowling needs to hold up under pressure in knockout matches.
GT chose stability over extravagance at the 2026 auction — quietly fine-tuning their roster rather than making sweeping changes. It’s the approach of a team that believes in its core and wants to build on it, not rebuild it.
IPL 2026 starts on March 22, 2026. GT will play their home matches at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad — the largest cricket stadium in the world.

IPL 2026 starts March 22. GT is ready. The Narendra Modi Stadium will be loud. Aava De.
