Shubman Gill, captain of the Gujarat Titans (GT), has credited his side’s impressive start in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) to a team effort in which everyone pitched in.
Gill’s evaluation followed GT’s decisive 58-run victory over Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Wednesday, April 9, at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. In five games this season, it was their fourth victory.
“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.
