Gill was unable to field and had to sit out due to a back spasm in their last match against RR.
Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Shubman Gill was unable to field after his batting and had to sit out due to a back spasm during their previous match against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025). In his absence, Rashid Khan took over the captaincy reins.
Now, with GT set to take on last year’s runners-up Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) tonight, there remains anticipation surrounding Gill’s availability for the marquee clash.
However, GT team director Vikram Solanki has given a major update regarding the same at the pre-match press conference.
Solanki emphasised that the management is taking a cautious approach. He also confirmed that Gill is likely to join training soon, after which his condition will be evaluated. Despite the concerns, the GT management remains optimistic about Gill’s recovery and expects him to be available for the upcoming high-stakes match against SRH.
“His fitness, there was a bit of a back spasm. We’re just trying to be careful with it. He’ll be at training today. We’ll just see where he’s at. We’re reasonably confident that he’s going to be OK,” said Solanki in the conference.
