Shubman Gill has been brilliant in the IPL 2025. With 465 runs, including five fifties, he has played a significant role in the Titans' juggernaut in the tournament, where they've won seven out of the 10 games. Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja lauded Shubman Gill for his consistency and compared him to Virat Kohli.
"It’s business as usual with Shubman Gill because this man is just so consistent. We have a Virat Kohli in our country, but Gill is no less. If you look at the consistency with which he scores, it’s similar in style. They don’t take unnecessary risks; they wait for the bowler to make a mistake. Unless absolutely required, you rarely see them throw their wicket away," said Jadeja as quoted by India Today.
Gill played a magnificent innings of 76 during SRH's 38 run win over the SRH. "Skill-wise, Gill is outstanding. He peppered the offside beautifully today with those cover drives. What stood out were those three big hits—one over mid-wicket off Pat Cummins and another off the other pacer. That was a new element today. Otherwise, he remains rock solid," said Jadeja.
Jadeja hailed GT for their effort in the field and said the team was keen to do well after the defeat to RR.
"I think the right word for GT was ‘energy’. That catch from Rashid Khan, and all those diving efforts, were fabulous. He ran a lot, slid in, and still managed to pull it off. That effort shows. What we saw today was a Gujarat Titans side probably stung by their last loss against Rajasthan Royals. One thing they were sure of today was giving it their best, and the energy was top-level. I haven't seen GT field with this kind of intensity before. They've taken brilliant catches in the past, but today’s energy was clearly fuelled by what happened in the last game. When you lose a game like that, you come back tougher—and they certainly did," said Jadeja.
