Shubman Gill Likely to Play Against SRH Despite Back Spasm, Confirms GT
In a major relief for Gujarat Titans fans, skipper Shubman Gill is likely to feature in their crucial IPL 2025 clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) despite a recent injury scare. Gill had suffered a back spasm during GT’s previous match against the Rajasthan Royals, which forced him off the field. However, GT Director of Cricket Vikram Solanki has provided a positive update ahead of the encounter at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday, May 2.
“His fitness, there was a bit of a back spasm. We’re just trying to be careful with it. He’ll be at training today. We’re reasonably confident that he’s going to be OK,” Solanki said in the pre-match press conference, boosting hopes of fans awaiting Gill’s presence at the top of the order.
Solanki also addressed the team’s recent loss to Rajasthan, where young Vaibhav Suryavanshi stunned GT with a brilliant innings. He emphasized that the loss wasn’t a reflection of the team’s capabilities and credited the youngster’s extraordinary knock.
Looking ahead to the SRH match, Solanki stressed that GT would not take their opponents lightly. “We must pay the due respect that SRH deserves. They’ve got match-winners across their team, and we’re aware of the threat they pose,” he stated.
Currently placed fourth on the points table with six wins in nine games, a victory for Gujarat Titans in this match would move them up a spot and further solidify their playoff hopes. With Shubman Gill likely to return, GT fans will be hoping for a strong show from their captain in this high-stakes encounter.
