Gujarat Titans, under Head Coach Ashish Nehra, are entering IPL 2026 with a clear focus on competing and winning. Speaking at Shubharambh 2026, Nehra emphasized trust in players, continuity in leadership, and the team’s consistent approach since their 2022 title. The season kicks off against Punjab Kings on March 31, with their first home game on April 4.

Ahmedabad: Gujarat Titans have outlined their clear approach ahead of IPL 2026, with Head Coach Ashish Nehra stating that the team remains focused on competing and winning.

Speaking at Shubharambh 2026, a landmark evening that brought together the full squad, franchise owners, partners and fans, Nehra said the Titans are not looking to change their way of playing.

“I don’t think there’s a need to think differently this season. In fact, I don’t have to think, the players do. They have to think. They have to play; I’m sitting outside,” he said, highlighting the team’s trust in players and their decision-making.

Reinforcing the team’s mindset, Nehra added, “From day one, our mindset has been clear, we are not here to participate, we are here to compete and win. For a new team, it’s easy to think it might take time, but that was never our approach.”
