As expected this year, BCCI is going back to glory IPL days when each team used to play both home and away matches because there is no pandemic issues. The official IPL Schedule 2023 revealed each franchise to play seven home and 7 away games which is pretty exciting for fans in India especially because this time 10 franchises are playing. As per Gujarat Titans match Schedule 2023, they will be playing the home games at Narendra Modi Stadium.Â
Coaches of Gujarat Titans 2023
There have been no changes in the coaching panel of Gujarat Titans which was expected because they became the Champions last year. Hardik Pandya as a leader was fantastic to watch and he is someone who can lead the Indian national team as well in the future. For TATA IPL 2023, below is the Gujarat Titans coaches list.
Coach Title | Name |
Director of Cricket | Vikram Solanki |
Head Coach | Ashish Nehra |
Assistant Head Coach | Ashish Kapoor & Mithun Manhas |
Batting Coach & Mentor | Gary Kirsten |
Performance Analyst | Sandeep Raju |
Physio | Rohit Sawalkar & Gaurav Sharma |
Team Manager | Satyajit Parab |
Strength and Conditioning Coach | Rajinikanth Sivagnanam |
Ashish Nehra has long coaching experience in IPL due to his association with different IPL franchises and it proved his experience did help them a lot last year. Very few teams in IPL, are able to defend their titles so all eyes will be on the Titans if they can manage to create history by winning consecutive IPL titles as a fresh team. Two IPL trophies in two years as a franchise in the tournament is a feast no team has ever achieved before.
GT IPL Win Percentage Last Year
Gujarat lost only 4 games in the league stage of IPL 2022 and topped the table. They defeated Rajasthan Royals in the qualifier and then defeated the Royals again in the big final.
Here is a breakdown of GT wins in IPL 2022.

If their captain, Hardik performs just like last year with bat & bowl they will be a tough opponent to beat.
