Shubman Gill of Gujarat Titans during Match 4 of the Tata Indian Premier League 2026 between Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans at the New International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh, India on March 31, 2026. (CREIMAS) Shubman Gill was ruled out of Gujarat Titans (GT) IPL 2026 clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Ahmedabad on Saturday. Stand-in captain Rashid Khan said the 26-year-old is unavailable due to muscle spasm and is hopeful of returning to action soon.
“We wanted to bowl first. Gill has a muscle cramp, hopefully he’ll be back soon,” Rashid said during the toss. In place of Gill, Jharkhand wicketkeeper batsman Kumar Kushagra was given a chance to debut.
“KK (Kumar Kushagra) is playing his first game and we are looking forward to seeing him play. We played good cricket in the last game too. It was a good game.
We need to give 100% here,” Rashid said during the toss.
