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.
