Shubman Gill has been brilliant for the Gujarat Titans (GT) in IPL 2025. With 508 runs in 11 games, the captain has led from the front, playing a significant role in GT's dream run in IPL 2025. GT are currently placed at the helm of the points table with eight wins in 11 games. The team is almost certain of a playoff berth after the juggernaut.

Shubman Gill Claims Unique Feat

Shubman Gill played a 43-run knock against MI, which was pivotal in the team's win over the Hardik Pandya-led side. The innings took his tally of runs in IPL 2025 to 508. He thus became the second youngest after Virat Kohli to score 500 runs in an IPL season as captain. Gill achieved the feat in 25 years and 280 days while Kohli reached the landmark at 24 years and 186 days. Kohli had scored 634 runs in IPL 2013.

Play was stopped after the 18th over due to rain, and MI were ahead on DLS, however, play resumed and GT were given a target of 15 to chase in the last over. Rahul Tewatia hit a four on the first ball and Gerald Coetze smashed a six on the third ball to get the job done for GT.
