Shubman Gill to lead Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025

With the bat, Gill scored 426 runs from 14 games, averaging 38.72 at a strike-rate of 147.40. He also scored a hundred and two half-centuries. Overall, he has played 103 matches in the IPL. Gill has scored 3216 runs at an average of 37.83 with four hundreds and 20 half-centuries.
Gill will be eager to reverse the fortunes for Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2025 season. He will also look to better his performance with the bat.
