It symbolizes the aspirations of the team to achieve the 'pinnacle' of success in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League.

Kumar Kartikeya Singh returned a five-wicket haul after Shubham Sharma hit a gritty unbeaten ton as Madhya Pradesh recorded an emphatic 106-run win over Gujarat in their Elite Group A Ranji Trophy game on Sunday. Madhya Pradesh had conceded first innings lead to Gujarat but the central team then fought back with gusto, putting 251 in their second essay with Shubham scoring an unbeaten 103. Kartikeya Singh (5/34) then spun the web around the Gujarat batters, as the team was shot out for a meagre 88 in their second essay in just 37.5 overs.
Gujarat Titans is one of the two new entrants to the Indian Premier League. Led by Hardik Pandya, the team had also signed India opener Shubman Gill and Afghanistan's all-rounder Rashid Khan as their three pre-auction signings. Building the team from scratch, Gujarat Titans spent Rs 89.85 crore out of their total kitty of Rs 90 Crore (pre auction and during). Talking to TimesofIndia.com after the auction, Gujarat Titans head coach and former India pacer Ashish Nehra sounded confident ahead of the 15th season of the IPL and the first for the Ahmedabad based franchise. Nehra also sounded a warning to the other teams that they are not here just to participate, but to compete and win.
Ashish Nehra, the head coach of the Gujarat Titans has said that he is pleased with the picks the franchise made in the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction and the Hardik Pandya-led side will play hard and fair in the tournament. "Yeah, see it is not about Gujarat Titans, in the IPL, all teams are very close and they are very good. It is about how they stick and gel together. After the auction, some people will say this team is looking strong but that does not mean that team will win the IPL, sports does not work that way. It is a new franchise and we did manage to put up a really good squad," Nehra said after the mega auction.
Ashish Nehra feels Gujarat Titans have built a "strong, all-round squad" but the success of the new IPL franchise will depend on how well the players get along. The former India pacer was present at the mega-auction alongside World Cup-winning coach Gary Kirsten, who will serve as the team's mentor and batting coach.
