‘To be honest …’, why did Gill not get Rashid Khan’s entire over despite affordable bowling? Revealed after victory
Shubman Gill Statement after Victory Against Mumbai Indians: The ninth match of IPL 2025 was played on March 29 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians. Where the GT team led by Shubman Gill managed to win by 36 runs. After his first success in the 18th season, Gujarat captain Shubman Gill looked very happy. After the match, he shared his views about the pitch during the award distribution ceremony, saying, “It was decided before playing the first match that we would play the next match on black soil.”
Gill when asked whether this decision was taken in view of the opposition team? On this, he gave his reply and said, ‘This was also a reason. Such wickets are more favorable for our batting and bowling. When the ball becomes old on the black soil, it becomes very difficult to put a shot during the batting. We wanted to set up a boundary during the powerplay. We can talk about our plans. Sometimes things are favorable and sometimes not.

During the match, veteran spinner Rashid Khan bowled only two overs. Meanwhile, he remained quite economical. Despite this, Gill did not complete his quota. Responding to this question, he said, ‘To be honest, I had saved the last two overs for his end. But the way the fast bowlers bowled. I did not want our control over the game.
