Gujarat Titans

The Governing Council of the Indian Premier League issued an invitation to tender for two new sides in August 2021.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India allowed a consortium of three companies or individuals to bid for each franchise.

In October 2021, CVC Capital Partners won the rights to operate the Ahmedabad franchise with a bid of ₹5,625 crore (US$650 million).

Hardik Pandya was adjudged the Man of the Match for his bowling figures of 3/17 and his 34 from 30 balls with a strike rate of 113.33.

Critics have praised Pandya's captaincy, bowling, and batting, with many agreeing that he and the management used their players well and worked as a team to win the tournament.
