[WATCH] Shubman Gill Impresses In Gujarat Titans Nets Before IPL 2026

India star Shubman Gill has started getting ready for IPL 2026 while the T20 World Cup is going on. He is not part of India’s squad for the tournament. With the new IPL season starting next month, Gill was spotted training in the Gujarat Titans’ nets as their pre-season camp began.

Wearing the team’s new training kit, he looked in excellent touch with the bat. The right-hander played a wide range of shots, including pulls, cover drives, lofted hits and flicks. He seemed to be timing the ball really well and looked confident and in good rhythm.

GT head coach Ashish Nehra was watching Gill closely from behind during the session. After finishing practice, Gill was also seen chatting with Nehra as they walked off the field.
