Shubman Gill returns to captain the Gujarat Titans on April 8 against the Delhi Capitals. Sai Sudharsan confirmed the news ahead of Wednesday’s fixture.
Gill sat out GT’s last match with muscle spasms. That absence broke a long 1468-day run of consecutive IPL appearances for the franchise, spanning nearly four years.
Rashid Khan took over as captain against the Rajasthan Royals. However, GT lost by 6 runs in a tight contest. Ravi Bishnoi bowled a match-turning spell that sealed the result. GT now sits ninth on the points table after losing their opening 2 matches.
Gujarat will look to register its first win of IPL 2026 on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Delhi Capitals also arrive at this fixture in strong form. Axar Patel’s side defeated both Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians to open their campaign.
