For the forthcoming Indian Premier League season, the Gujarat Titans are anticipated to remain under the direction of head coach Ashish Nehra and director of cricket Vikram Solanki. Torrent Pharma, an Ahmedabad-based business, is reportedly in talks to purchase the majority of the franchise. Several adjustments were anticipated during the relocation, including a shift in the coaching staff. It has been revealed, nevertheless, that Nehra and Solanki will continue to be in charge for the 2025 edition even if the agreement is finalized.

Notably, after the conclusion of the most recent season of the lucrative league, Nehra’s contract with the team expired. Since then, several teams have reportedly inquired about hiring him, but the former cricket player has chosen to stick with Gujarat. Gujarat finished second in 2023 and first in the championship in 2022 under his leadership. Following Hardik Pandya’s trade to the Mumbai Indians, the 2024 edition didn’t go well because they had to rebuild their team in the next mega-auction.

The rest of the Gujarat coaching staff will probably stick around in addition to Nehra and Solanki. The club hopes to sign a successor for the departing Gary Kirsten, who was the batting coach until he joined Pakistan. A handful of Gujarat’s first-choice players are also in discussions with other teams over possible moves in the mega-auction.

Retention guidelines to be announced soon by BCCI

BCCI will soon make the retention regulations public. They will probably let each team keep five players as it stands now, with two foreigners and three Indians. Reports regarding the Right To Match (RTM) cards have surfaced, but BCCI eliminated them in advance of the mega-auction in 2022, and this year is probably going to be no different. The retention policy was not discussed at the online meeting of BCCI’s top council on Wednesday, September 25.
