Shubman Gill was ruled out of Gujarat Titans’ (GT) IPL 2026 clash against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Ahmedabad on Saturday. Stand-in captain Rashid Khan said that the 26-year-old was unavailable due to muscle spasms and hoped that he would return to action soon
“We wanted to bowl first. Gill has a muscle spasm, hopefully he will be back soon,” Rashid said at the toss.
Jharkhand wicket-keeper batter Kumar Kushagra was handed a debut in Gill’s place.
“KK (Kumar Kushagra) is playing his first game and look forward to see him play. We played good cricket in the last game as well. Was a good game. We need to bring out 100% here,” Rashid added at the toss.
