Gujarat Titans (GT) are currently enjoying a break as they are slated to play their next game in the IPL 2024 on April 17 against Delhi Capitals (DC). The GT players seem to be making the most of the week off as they decided to pay a visit to nature.
On Friday, Gujarat Titans shared a photo on Instagram of the Afghan trio of Azmatullah Omarzai, Noor Ahmad and Rashid Khan, accompanied by team director Vikram Solanki, posing from the backseats of an open-roof jeep wandering through the forest lands.
The caption of the post read, “Exploring the forest like Titans”.
The photo seemed to have been clicked by Australian quick Spencer Johnson, who was attributed with the photo credits in the caption.
GT have been quite successful since they made their IPL debut in 2022.
In their maiden season, under the leadership of former captain Hardik Pandya, GT made it to the final and beat Rajasthan Royals (RR) to become only the second team in IPL history to win an IPL title in their very first edition.
Coincidentally, they matched RR’s record, the team they beat in the 2022 final, given the fact that RR had won the IPL in the inaugural season in 2008.
In 2023, they made it to their second consecutive final. Unfortunately, they couldn’t defend the title as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) won a last-ball thriller and clinched a joint-record fifth IPL trophy.

This season, following Pandya’s trade to Mumbai Indians (MI), Shubman Gill was handed over the reins. It has been a mixed bag of results in IPL 2024 so far for them.
GT have played six games, winning three games and losing as many. They won their opening game of the season against MI, but went on to lose against defending champions CSK.
They bounced back to win their second game, beating Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets before falling to consecutive defeats to Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants. That resulted in GT’s worst start yet to an IPL season after five games.
On Wednesday, Tewatia and Rashid Khan pulled off a heist and proved why GT are known as the chase masters. They broke RR’s unbeaten run to win by three wickets, pulling off the chase on the final ball.
