Director of Cricket Vikram Solanki and head coach Ashish Nehra of the Gujarat Titans will stay on despite the ownership change. An Ahmedabad-based business called Torrent Pharma is purportedly buying the bulk of the franchise. The coaching staff, in contrast to expectations, won’t change.
When ownership changed, there was initial conjecture that major changes would occur, such as Nehra and Solanki being replaced. Nonetheless, the pair will continue to hold their posts for the 2025 Indian Premier League season, according to sources close to the team. The franchise’s faith in their leadership and the accomplishments made possible by their direction are reflected in this decision.
Nehra and Solanki were essential to the Gujarat Titans’ successful maiden campaign. The squad will be able to capitalize on its current momentum because of its continuity, which will offer stability and familiarity.
The Gujarat Titans will look to build on their previous success and have a significant effect in the upcoming season under the direction of the coaching tandem. The future prospects of the franchise appear bright with the retention of Nehra and Solanki.
Ashish Nehra’s contract with the franchise came to an end
Several teams expressed interest in Ashish Nehra when his contract with the Gujarat Titans terminated following the most recent IPL season. But the experienced cricket player has decided to stay on as head coach for an additional year. Gujarat had an incredible season in 2022, winning the title, and in 2023 they came in second place under Nehra’s leadership.
The Gujarat Titans are hopeful about reassembling their team in the forthcoming mega-auction, even if their 2024 campaign was unsatisfactory after Hardik Pandya left for the Mumbai Indians. Stability is derived by Nehra’s continuity and Director of Cricket Vikram Solanki. It is also possible that the coaching staff will not change in its entirety.
Gujarat is looking for a successor after their former batting coach, Gary Kirsten, joined the Pakistan team. Furthermore, a few of Gujarat’s most important players are in discussions with other teams about possible movements in the mega-auction.
The team will need Nehra and Solanki’s experience to restructure the roster and get back to winning ways as they get ready for the upcoming campaign. Having established a solid base, Gujarat Titans hope to recover and challenge for the championship in the 2025 Indian Premier League.
