Matthew Wade Joins Gujarat Titans as Assistant Coach

Former Australian wicketkeeper Matthew Wade has been appointed as the assistant coach for the Gujarat Titans ahead of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Wade, who played two seasons for the Titans in 2022 and 2024, retired from international cricket last year and missed the IPL mega auction. During his playing tenure, he was part of the title-winning team in 2022 under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. Wade will join a coaching staff that includes head coach Ashish Nehra, batting coach Parthiv Patel, and fellow assistant coaches Aashish Kapoor and Narender Negi. The Titans are looking to improve upon their previous season's performance, where they finished seventh after winning only five out of 14 matches. The team has strengthened its squad with new acquisitions, including renowned players such as Mohammad Siraj and Kagiso Rabada.
