IPL: 3 records held by GT that may never be broken

Despite only getting established ahead of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, the Gujarat Titans (GT) have already accomplished a vast array of things in their relatively short history. 

In their first four seasons, the Ahmedabad-based outfit has reached the playoffs three times, including two finals, whilst lifting one trophy. Their success is largely down to their first captain, Hardik Pandya to guided them to their title win in 2022.

Now entering their fifth season, GT will want to build on their existing success and create a legacy of their own in the IPL.

Here’s a look at three GT records that are arguably impossible to break:

3. Consecutive finale appearances in first two seasons – 2022, 2023

GT have a record that is not getting broken anytime soon unless there is a brand new franchise on the horizon. They are the only side in IPL history to reach the final in their first two seasons of the tournament. 

GT went on to win the IPL trophy in their debut year of 2022, beating Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the final at their home ground. Therefore, they joined RR in winning the title in their first season, which the Jaipur-based side achieved in 2008.

The then Hardik-led side would reach their second IPL final in as many years, where they faced Chennai Super Kings. They were whiskers away from winning their second title, but Ravindra Jadeja scored 10 runs off the final two balls to deny them the glory.
