Gujarat Titans have continued their training sessions in Ahmedabad despite the uncertainty surrounding the Indian Premier League after the matches got suspended for a week on May 8 due to the border tensions between India and Pakistan. According to a report on ESPNCricinfo, the table-toppers did not disperse after the announcement of the suspension. Englishman Jos Buttler and South African Gerald Coetzee were the only two to leave India.

Delhi Capitals (Away)

Lucknow Super Giants (Home)

Chennai Super Kings (Home)

It remains to be seen whether the matches will be played in the conventional home and away format. Reports that came before the announcement of the ceasefire deal between India and Pakistan on May 10 stated that the matches will be played in the three southern cities, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.

Final set to be played in Ahmedabad

Reports that came on May 11 (Sunday) stated the final might be moved from Kolkata to Ahmedabad due to weather conditions.

Gujarat Titans have a real shot at finishing in the top two positions. If they manage to reach the final, it will be their third appearance in the final, and incidentally, all three would have been at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Gujarat Titans defeated Rajasthan Royals in 2022 and lost to Chennai Super Kings in 2023.
