IPL 2025: Shubman Gill applauds teammates after win vs RR at home

A delighted Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill credited his team's strong start to the season with four wins in five matches to a collective effort, with everyone chipping in. Gujarat Titans notch a commanding 58-run win over Rajasthan Royals in their IPL clash here on Wednesday, riding on Sai Sudharsan's classy fifty combined with a collective bowling effort. GT piled on 217 for 6 after being asked to bat and then bowled RR out for 159 in 19.2 overs to win the match. "Good total put up. It was not easy, the first three fours overs, it was nipping. Sai and Jos batted tremendously. We'd take 220 any day," Gill said at the post-match presentation. "Our fast bowlers are doing a tremendous job. Everyone is chipping in. If you are having difficulties in choosing the Player of the Match, that is the hallmark of a great team. "When you have bowlers like we do, captaincy becomes easy. Whosoever I bring in, they are happy to contribute," he added. Asked if it's difficult to lead the team

IPL 2024: Skipper Shubman Gill denies having issue with GT middle order

Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill asserted there were no issues with his team's middle order after his side defeated five-time champions Mumbai Indians in a match where the top order did the bulk of the scoring for the home side here. GT overcame Mumbai Indians by 36 runs, making use of the home conditions and black soil pitch as they posted a steep 196 for eight and then restricted Hardik Pandya's team to 160 for six. GT's top-three batters -- openers Sai Sudharsan (68) and Gill (38) and one-down batter Jos Buttler (39) -- gave the home side a flourishing start but the middle order, comprising Shahrukh Khan (9), Sherfane Rutherford (18), Rahul Tewatia (0) and Rashid Khan (6), went cheaply. However, Gill said it was not a concern. "I don't think so (middle order is a concern). Even in the previous match (vs Punjab Kings), I think, yes it was a high-scoring game and we were chasing around 250 runs (243), but Rutherford scored around 48 runs (46 in the middle order). It's not a bad

Gill made a fluent 46 in India's six-wicket win over Pakistan in the Champions Trophy here on Sunday, following up his classy match-winning hundred in their tournament opener against Bangladesh. "Clearly, he's the guy who is going to shoulder the responsibility of the Indian team going forward in years to come," Bangar said JioHotstar. Speaking about the 25-year-old's technique, Bangar said, "(His) foundations are really, really strong and add to that the confidence of nearly two-and-a-half years of performing in one-day cricket. In one-day cricket, he's been phenomenal." "Now look, the straight drive, the on-drive are the shots wherein you cannot actually hit the ball really hard. But here, he was hitting the ball so hard that despite the mid-off and the mid-on ..

With no dew, team batting second will be under more pressure: Shubman Gill

India vice-captain Shubman Gill on Saturday said the lack of dew in Dubai has made chasing a trickier proposition and his team would prefer putting runs on the board in the high-stakes game against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy here. Though India have dominated Pakistan in world events and also in the recent past, the match generates plenty of hype. Gill is well aware of the build-up created by fans on either side of the border but it doesn't change anything for him and his team. "It's not for me to say whether India-Pakistan contest is under-hyped or over-hyped. There is a long history of India-Pakistan cricket. It is a very exciting contest but it doesn't change anything for us. "It is an important but the most important match will be the final," Gill told reporters on the eve of the game. Dew played a big role when the T20 World Cup was held in the UAE and Gill said it impacts the game even more in the ODI format. However, the lack of dew here has made batting tougher under

There is a reason why Shubman Gill has been made vice-captain: Rohit Sharma

Shubman Gill is a potential successor to India captain Rohit Sharma in the ODI format and the latter was all praise for his opening partner on Wednesday, saying there is a reason why he has been made the vice-captain of the side. Gill had a forgettable Test tour of Australia, like the majority of Indian batters but his numbers in the ODI format are phenomenal. "Gill is a very, very classy player. There was never a doubt about his ability in this squad. We tend to mix formats and I don't think that's the right way to judge any player," Rohit said. "Certain players have their strength in certain formats and if one format doesn't go well, it doesn't mean that the other formats will be the same. It's there for all of us to see what happened in Australia and things have changed certainly in a different format. "With Gill, we know the numbers are crazy. If you look at it, he has been superb for us in the last 3-4 years that he has batted. Obviously, there is a reason that he has been ...
