IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans preparing to retain Gill and Rashid, Shami will be on leave!

Mohammed Shami unlikely to be retained due to injury concerns Indian Premier League franchise Gujarat Titans has decided to retain one of the biggest names of Indian cricket. Shubman Gill is the first choice in his list, while Rashid Khan is also included in the retention list. Apart from this, the franchise can also retain talented Sai Sudarshan. However, a big news for Gujarat fans will be that star Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami is unlikely to be retained due to his injury concerns. Talking about uncapped players, Gujarat Titans can retain youngsters like Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia. “Shubman, Rashid and Sai will be retained by the franchise,” an IPL source said, according to India Today. Gujarat Titans were seen struggling in IPL 2024 Let us tell you that Shubhman Gill is being seen as the future of Team India and he has captained Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024. However, the team was seen struggling and finished eighth. Interestingly, Gujarat Titans created history by winning the title in their IPL debut season itself. Hardik Pandya led the team at that time. In the next season also the team had reached the finals. Talking about IPL 2025 mega auction, this event can be organized outside India. There are reports that the auction may be organized in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Let us tell you that this time the total budget of the auction has been increased to Rs 120 crore, which is 20 crore more than the budget of last year’s IPL teams. Apart from this, BCCI has also issued some new guidelines. As per the new IPL retention and rules, a maximum of six players can be retained, which will also include the Right to Match (RTM) card, which was not considered last year.

Shubman Gill clearly doesn’t have experience playing spinners: Sanjay Manjrekar

Gill has been able to score only 53 runs in two innings of the Pune test match against New Zealand. Shubman Gill (Photo Source: Sanjay Manjrekar blamed India’s batting against spin bowling for their defeat in the three-match Test series against New Zealand. The Tom Latham-led side took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series by winning the second Test in Pune on Saturday, October 26. Manjrekar said that if the Indian top order had more confidence, flexibility and strength to defend against the spinners, India could have chased down the target of 359 runs in the fourth innings. He also said that Gill clearly does not have the experience of playing spinners. Sanjay Manjrekar gave a big statement Let us tell you that after India’s defeat in the Pune Test match, Sanjay Manjrekar quoted ESPN Cricinfo as saying – When Yashasvi and Shubman were going to bat together, I thought there would be a surprise. Shubman Gill clearly does not have experience with spinners. A batsman who can work with his footwork effortlessly is clearly under pressure when he plays spinners on turning pitches. Manjrekar further said- Virat Kohli once again failed to understand the length. The ball was fuller than he expected and came back to him quickly. Rohit Sharma was not full of confidence at the crease. There are a lot of players, three out of the top four lacked confidence against spin. On such pitches, you see that it is difficult to bat against spin in the first one and a half sessions. I think if India had strengthened its defense technology a little more, things could have been easier. Had India not lost so many wickets early, with Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja in the side, this match could have been much closer.
