Ahmedabad, March 23

Gujarat Titans marked the beginning of their Indian Premier League 2026 journey with Shubharambh 2026, a landmark evening in Ahmedabad that brought together the full squad, franchise owners, partners, and fans. The evening reflected on the team's five-year journey while setting a clear, forward-looking tone for the season ahead.

Showcasing the unity, ambition, and Gujarat-first ethos that continues to define the franchise, the evening blended reflection, recognition, and cultural celebration, reinforcing the team's deep-rooted connection with its fans and the state. The occasion served as a reminder of how the Titans have grown into one of the league's most dynamic, consistent, and fan-driven franchises, both on and off the field. From building a strong legacy by lifting the title in their debut season to consistently delivering high-impact performances and cultivating one of the most engaged fan communities in the IPL, Gujarat Titans moved with a clear focus on culture, leadership, and long-term vision.

The presence of Jinal Mehta, Director, Torrent Group and Chairman, Gujarat Titans, and Shaan Mehta, Director, Torrent Group and Director, Gujarat Titans, Chief Operating Officer Colonel Arvinder Singh, Head Coach Ashish Nehra, and Director of Cricket Vikram Solanki underscored a unified leadership and team environment. At its heart was a celebration of the squad's collective journey, with a special moment recognising captain Shubman Gill within the broader narrative of consistency, growth, and ambition.

Blending music, culture, and celebration, the evening, hosted by Mandira Bedi, captured the spirit of Gujarat through an energetic opening act and a theatrical squad unveiling led by Shubman Gill, bringing the entire team together on stage. Performances by Bhoomi Trivedi and Kinjal Dave added depth to the experience, with music, dance, and traditional elements reflecting the identity of the state and the community that defines the franchise.

Gujarat Titans will begin their IPL 2026 campaign against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur on March 31, before returning to Ahmedabad for their first home fixture on April 4 against Rajasthan Royals.

Love the focus on legacy and fan connection. Winning the title in the debut season was magical, and they've built such a strong culture since. Hoping for another trophy this year! The event with Mandira Bedi and the performances sounds lovely.

Respectfully, while the event looks great, I hope the focus remains on cricket. The squad needs to deliver on the field. Last season's finish was disappointing. Let's see if the 'forward-looking tone' translates into winning performances, especially in the playoffs.

Kinjal Dave and Bhoomi Trivedi performing! That's amazing. GT really knows how to celebrate our Gujarati asmita (pride). It's more than a team; it feels like a community festival. All the best for the match against Punjab Kings!

As a cricket fan living in Ahmedabad now, it's impressive to see how this franchise has built such a strong identity so quickly. The leadership from Nehra and Solanki seems very solid. Looking forward to the home game on April 4th.

Shubman Gill as captain is the right choice. He carries himself with such maturity. The event highlighting his journey within the team's narrative is a nice touch. Hope he has a stellar season with both bat and leadership! 💪
