Gujarat Titans — 2026 squad, form, fixtures and fantasy picks
Gujarat Titans coverage for IPL 2026: confirmed squad, fixture list, last-5 form, probable XI, captaincy and coaching set-up, and the fantasy cricket reads the desk is watching.
Season overview
Gujarat Titans come into the 2026 season as One-time champion (2022), with 5 W · 2 L after the first seven matches and an NRR of +0.612. The desk's read: Gill-led top order, Rashid-led spin, balanced XI, aggressive against pace, careful against spin.
The captain is Shubman Gill, the head coach is Ashish Nehra, and the home venue is Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. Five players we're watching especially closely this week: Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, Kane Williamson, Sai Sudharsan, Mohammed Shami.

Net run-rate and where the curve is heading
The Gujarat Titans form curve tracks the run-rate scored and conceded across every completed match this season. Sides that trend up in both directions at once are usually top-four material; sides flat or trending down on either axis tend to finish bottom-half. We refresh the GT curve after every match and surface it on the desk's match-report flow.
Next four on the slate
GT next four: at MI (Apr 22, evening) · vs RR (Apr 25, evening) · at LSG (Apr 28, evening) · vs DC (May 1, evening).
The list above reflects the league's most recent published update for the Gujarat Titans run-in. Reschedules or venue moves get reflected on the schedule page the same day the league confirms them — and we mirror the change here so fantasy players building a captain-pick slate around the next match aren't planning around a stale fixture.
Three tactical matchups to watch
The Gujarat Titans matchups the desk is tracking this season. Each one decides a different phase of the game — the new ball, the middle overs, the chase, or the death.
Gill's tempo control
The captain sets the innings pace rather than the bowlers. A Gill innings at 130+ strike rate with seven-plus boundaries is the Gujarat Titans formula.
Rashid at the death
Going under 160 with Rashid bowling the 18th and 20th overs is hard. The leg-spinner's googly length is the ball sides keep preparing for.
Narendra Modi surface read
Ahmedabad's square boundaries and evening dew reward a side that bats second. The toss call and the dew factor shape the entire matchup.
Likely XI for the next game
The XI that beat DC:
We anchor the XI around the GT spine — Shubman Gill's call on team balance, the bowler load-outs that match the next pitch, and one overseas slot held open for impact. When rotation is in play, the bench option is named beside the most likely XI so fantasy players aren't guessing.
Fantasy cricket reads for the squad
Where the GT squad overlaps with this week's fantasy slate, here is where the desk is reading the picks. Three pages the Gujarat Titans captain-cutters tend to land on first:
- Captain picks: tonight's GT likely XI is rated against the next opposition, and the captain-candidate list is ranked by fantasy ROI rather than reputation.
- Dream team: the dream-team builder accepts any Gujarat Titans player, prints the salary cost per pick, and flags combinations that breach the cap before you commit.
- Orange Cap and Purple Cap: the run-scorer and wicket-taker leaderboards have a Gujarat Titans filter, which is the quickest way to see whether the form curve is real or noise.
