IPL 2025 - What Makes Gujarat Titans The Best Batting Unit This Season?

It is crunch time in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) and one of the biggest success stories this season has been that of Gujarat Titans.

Titans have scored in excess of 180 in 8 of their 10 innings this season. They have crossed 200 five times - the most for any team in the tournament.

Not only have the Titans' batters scored big runs consistently but done so at a rapid rate. Their combined strike rate of 170.5 is again the highest in the edition.
