Gujarat Titans
The IPL 2024 journey for Shubhman Gill’s Gujarat Titans started with an impressive victory against the Mumbai Indians (MI) on their home turf. However, their momentum took a hit as they faced a defeat against the defending champions, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), in their second match in Chennai. Despite this setback, the GT bounced back swiftly in their encounter against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and successfully chased down a target of 163 runs with five balls to spare.
