Shubman Gill Set to Enter IPL 2025 Mega Auction: A Big Move for Gujarat Titans

Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill is likely to be available in the IPL 2025 mega auction. According to reports from RevSportz, the team may not keep Gill as their top retention for the upcoming season, even though he has been one of their best players since joining the league.

Instead, it seems that Gujarat Titans will make star spinner Rashid Khan their first retention. If this happens, Shubman Gill will enter the auction, which could be a major loss for GT. Gill has been a key part of their success, especially when they won the IPL title in 2022. That season, Gill scored 483 runs in 16 matches, making him the team’s top run-scorer.

Gill’s standout year was in 2023, where he smashed 890 runs, helping Gujarat Titans reach the IPL final for the second year in a row. However, after Hardik Pandya moved to Mumbai Indians, Shubman Gill was given the captaincy for IPL 2024. Unfortunately, his season as captain didn’t go well, as Gujarat Titans finished in the lower half of the points table.

Despite the team’s struggles, Shubman Gill once again showed his class as a batter. He scored 426 runs in 12 games, proving to be GT’s best performer last season.

Now, with reports suggesting that Shubman Gill might be part of the IPL 2025 auction, many teams are expected to take an interest. Several franchises need a new captain, and Gill could easily find himself leading a different team next season. With his incredible batting talent, he is likely to attract huge bids at the auction.

In his IPL career so far, Gill has played 103 matches and scored 3,216 runs at a strike rate of over 135. He has also hit 4 centuries and 20 half-centuries.

At the moment, Shubman Gill is playing for Team India in the ongoing Test series against New Zealand. After missing the first match due to injury, Gill is now fully fit and ready to continue his excellent form for India in 2024.
