As the IPL 2025 approaches, the Gujarat Titans have started preparing for the next campaign by confirming two major player retention. In a recent social media post, the franchise posted the photos of star all-rounder Rashid Khan and attacking batsman and skipper Shubman Gill, giving way for the speculation of the duo continuing to be part of the Titans’ lineup for the upcoming IPL season.
Shubman Gill, who has been the team’s new captain since 2024, was instrumental in helping the Titans to their maiden IPL title in their debut season. With his explosive batting, reliable bowling, and sharp leadership skills, Gill has cemented his place as the backbone of the Gujarat Titans since the team’s inception. The retention of Gill has been largely expected, given his ability to score runs in crunch conditions and his pivotal role in the squad’s success.

While other teams are still in the process of finalizing their retention, the Titans seem to have already made a bold statement by securing two of the top performers in modern day cricket.
