Amidst the ambiguity surrounding the resumption of IPL 2025, Gujarat Titans (GT) have maintained their usual operations. Despite the tournament being suspended for a week on May 9 due to rising tensions between India and Pakistan, the current leaders have not halted their training.
Following the league’s suspension, numerous foreign players and coaches departed India within 24 hours. Unlike the rest, GT maintained their team structure with only Jos Buttler and Gerald Coetzee heading back to their home countries of England and South Africa. The majority of their squad and support staff remained in Ahmedabad, their franchise’s home base, to continue training at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
The ceasefire was declared on Saturday evening, and according to BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia, the board will announce the date for resuming the IPL after consulting with all stakeholders and relevant government authorities on Sunday.
