The Gujarat Titans are now under the ownership of the diversified conglomerate Torrent Group, which has acquired a majority stake of 67% in the Indian Premier League franchise, while Irelia Sports India Private Limited, formerly sole owner of the Titans, will retain a 33% minority stake.
The GT are one of the IPL’s newest teams along with the Lucknow Super Giants. They won the IPL title in their debut season under Hardik Pandya’s captaincy in 2022.
Going into the 2025 IPL season, the Titans are led by Team India’s ODI vice-captain, Shubman Gill.
