In a significant development, Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill has arrived in Ahmedabad ahead of IPL 2025. His arrival marks a fresh chapter for the franchise as they gear up to bounce back after a disappointing 2024 season. The Gujarat Titans' official social media handle made the announcement, sharing a video and a picture of the warm welcome Gill received upon his arrival.
A Royal Welcome For Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill dressed elegantly in beige trousers and a white shirt, was welcomed with fireworks and a traditional dance by the Gujarat Titans' supporters and camp staff. The moment was captured and shared on social media, with the franchise captioning the post, "The Prince arrived, the Kingdom celebrated."
The video depicted Gill receiving a heartfelt reception, showcasing the excitement surrounding his return to the franchise for IPL 2025. Watch the video here:
Along with Gill, other players such as Washington Sundar, Kagiso Rabada, and Rashid Khan have also joined the camp.
GT’s Hopes For A Strong Comeback In IPL 2025
After a successful debut IPL season in 2022, where the Gujarat Titans clinched the title, and a runners-up finish in 2023, the team’s performance took a downturn in 2024. Finishing in eighth place, with just five wins in 14 matches, they failed to qualify for the playoffs.
Their campaign last year was marred by inconsistencies, including leadership change following Hardik Pandya’s departure from the franchise to rejoin MI.
It is important to note that GT will start their campaign against PBKS at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on March 25.
