IPL 2022
After the team franchise was sold ahead of the IPL 2022 season, the auction process started, and Hardik Pandya was ultimately appointed as the team's first captain. Playing its first season in the Indian Premier League, Gujarat Titans were easily able to dominate in the league stages, as they finished at the top spot with 10 wins in 14 matches. In the first qualifier, they went against Rajasthan Royals and were also able to secure a dominant win by 7 wickets. Later in the tournament finals, the team faced Rajasthan Royals. The results were the same, with Gujarat Titans winning their maiden IPL title by defeating Rajasthan Royals by 7 wickets. Hardik Pandya was the top run scorer for the team with 487 runs, and Mohammed Shami led the wicket-taking charts with 20 wickets.
