The Gujarat Titans, former champions, have started their season strongly. Currently positioned 3rd in the points table, they have played 9 matches and secured 6 victories. With 5 games still to play, they are in a good position for qualification. However, in the IPL, nothing is guaranteed until the end of the season. Let’s take a closer look at the qualification scenario for the Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2025 Playoffs.
Gujarat Titans’ Performance in IPL 2025 So Far
The Titans began their season with a narrow loss, which may have motivated them to win the next four consecutive matches, establishing them as one of the teams to watch this season. Coach Ashish Nehra has assembled a talented squad through the auction, and their combined retention strategy is paying off well. One of the key strengths this season is their top three batsmen: Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler, who have collectively scored approximately 85% of the team's runs.

The batting approach of GT has been disciplined. Instead of going all out from the start, they focus on quick singles and boundaries, gradually building the innings. By maintaining wickets, they have consistently achieved totals that exceed the usual par score, currently leading to a cumulative advantage of around 30 runs. Sai Sudharsan is the team's leading scorer, amassing 456 runs at an impressive average of 50.67, and he currently holds the orange cap.
In the bowling department, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna have excelled with the new ball. After Kagiso Rabada returned home for personal reasons, Prasidh Krishna stepped up significantly, currently ranking 2nd in the purple cap chart with 17 wickets. His wicket-taking ability has been pivotal in swinging matches in favor of the Titans. Mohammed Siraj has also contributed with 12 wickets. In the spin department, Sai Kishore has been exceptional, effectively replacing Rashid Khan's impact in the middle overs. Although Rashid's form has been concerning, he is slowly regaining his skill level, which could provide an added advantage for the Gujarat Titans in the upcoming matches.
Qualification Scenarios for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025Â
The qualification scenario for the Titans is quite straightforward. They started the season well, winning 4 out of their first 5 matches. However, they have slid recently, winning only 2 out of their last 4 games, including a one-sided defeat against Rajasthan Royals that they need to rebound from. Currently, they have 12 points and sit in 3rd place on the table. If they win their next match, they will ascend to the top of the points table. From there, they need to secure just 2 more wins to guarantee qualification. If they win one additional match, they will mathematically finish in the top 2, provided their Net Run Rate (NRR) remains at +0.748.
