Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill is being closely monitored for fitness ahead of the upcoming IPL match against Delhi Capitals. He missed the previous game due to a muscle spasm and was seen with bandages around his shoulder and neck area. This is not the first time Gill has faced such issues, as he had also experienced neck spasms during India’s home Test season in 2025-26.
There was some positive news as Gill returned to training on Tuesday, but his availability for the next match is still uncertain. In his absence, Gujarat Titans put up a strong fight against Rajasthan Royals, falling just six runs short of the target while chasing 210. This impressive performance may influence the team management’s decision on whether to rush Gill back into the playing XI or give him more time to recover.
If Gill is deemed fit to play, he will likely return to the team immediately. However, if he is not ready, Rashid Khan may once again lead the team in his absence. The final decision will be made based on Gill’s fitness levels and the team’s overall strategy for the match against Delhi Capitals.
The match is scheduled for Wednesday, and fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on Gill’s condition leading up to the game. As of now, the team is keeping a close eye on his progress and will make a decision closer to the match time. The article was published on April 8, 2026.
