The Gujarat Titans opener and captain, Shubman Gill, has helped the side dominate the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2025 game at Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
He went on to smash fifty and continued making his approach towards a Century. Shubman Gill had a decent start in the ongoing season, but went on to great form, scoring 305 runs in 8 games at an average of 43.57.
Batting first, Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill opened the innings while Jofra Archer opened the bowling attack.
They went on to score 53 runs in the powerplay, but Sai Sudharsan was dismissed by Theekshana for 39 runs. Jos Buttler joined Shubman Gill at the crease facing the attacks of the Rajasthan Royals bowlers.
Glorious Gill 🤌
Two fabulous strikes from the #GT captain as he makes strides towards his season’s first 1⃣0⃣0⃣ 🔥

Speaking at the toss, Riyan Parag said, “We’ll bowl first. Pretty similar wicket to the one we played against LSG. Should be a good wicket, some low bounce, saw some dew last night so bowling first.”
“Everyone in our team has gone through situations like this and they know how to get out of it. We’ve had honest talks. Just have to put a game together collectively and hope for a good result.”
“We’ve played 35 overs of good cricket in the last three games. That’s how cruel the IPL is. Two changes: Farooqi goes out, Theekshana comes in. Tushar goes out and Yudhvir comes in.”
Meanwhile Shubman Gill said, “Would’ve bowled first as well. But it looks like a good wicket. Some grass on the wicket, always nice to see that. We are looking to take each game as it is, not looking at the past. Important to be ruthless in this format. One change: Karim Janat makes his debut.”
