Gujarat Titans, on the other hand, will enter the contest as the visiting team, but they have a reputation for defeating their opponents in their den. The Shubman Gill-led side looked all set to make it to their third IPL final in the 2025 edition but had to bow out in the eliminator. However, a fresh season will give them a fresh opportunity, which could also get them their second trophy.
