Shubman Gill is absent from the field for RR's chase against GT.
Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Shubman Gill was substituted out during his team’s IPL 2025 match against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Jaipur on Monday. Shubman Gill was subbed off before the start of the hosts’ chase after having scored 84 runs off 50 balls during his team’s innings.
Shubman Gill was subbed out of Gujarat Titans’ playing XI in order to bring in an extra pacer option in Ishant Sharma. Apart from Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna are the other pacers. Afghanistan all-rounder Radhid Khan is Gujarat Titans’ stand-in skipper in Shubman Gill’s absence.
Shubman Gill cleared up why at the post-match presentation: “I had a back spasm and the management felt I shouldn’t risk fielding with just a few days before the next game.”
