Gujarat Titans Set to Retain Ashish Nehra as Head Coach for IPL 2025
The mega auction will be held before the IPL 2025 tournament. The franchises have started building their squads ahead of this tournament. Rajasthan Royals have given the responsibility of the head coach on the shoulders of Rahul Dravid. While Punjab Kings have trusted Ricky Ponting. Lucknow Super Giants have also bet on Zaheer Khan. At the same time, there is a lot brewing in the fold of Gujarat Titans. In January 2022, Gujarat Titans appointed Ashish Nehra as the head coach of the team.
Gujarat Titans have done well under his guidance. The name was engraved on the title in the first shot. He reached the final for the second time. In IPL 2022, they won the title by defeating Rajasthan Royals. Also, due to the defeat of Chennai Super Kings, they had to settle for the runner-up position in IPL 2023. However, the team’s performance in the IPL 2024 tournament remained poor. Gujarat Titans lost 7 out of 14 matches, won 5 matches, and two matches were not played due to rain. For the fourth year in a row, Ashish Nehra will be with the team or not.

According to a Cricbuzz report, Ashish Nehra will be the head coach of Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025 as well. What’s more, Vikram Solanki is also going to stay with the team forever. That means there will be no change in the team’s support staff this season. Ashish Kapoor, Mithun Manhas, Narendra Negi, and Naeem Amin will remain with the team. But it is not yet clear who will replace Gary Kirsten. Gary Kirsten is currently the limited-overs coach of the Pakistan team.
