New Delhi:Because of a muscle spasm, I missed the Gujarat Titans' game against the Rajasthan Royals on Saturday, April 4, 2026. Rashid Khan, a star player from Afghanistan, led the Titans in their second game of the season at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. They had lost their first game to the Punjab Kings in New Chandigarh.
Rashid said at the toss that Gill had "a bit of a muscle spasm," but he hoped he would be back soon. Kumar Kushagra, a young batter from Jharkhand, was chosen to replace Gill in the match. GT wants to bounce back from their three-wicket loss to PBKS.
Parthiv Patel talks about Gill's return.During the second inning of the game, GT assistant coach Parthiv Patel talked to the broadcasters. He said that Gill's injury doesn't seem too bad and that he should be able to play in the next game. "Clearly, he had a neck sprain before, and a few days ago he had a spasm. I hope he's ready for the next game. Patel told broadcasters, "It doesn't seem that bad."
"I don't know how to handle injuries well." "But I can tell you for sure that he should be fine," he said.The Delhi Capitals will play RR at the Stadium on Wednesday, April 8. This gives Gill four days to get better and be ready for the game.
RR scores 210/6 in AhmedabadIn the meantime, RR scored a lot of points against the Titans, with a total of 210/6. Dhruv Jurel was the best batter, hitting 75 runs off 42 balls with five sixes and four fours. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi got the team off to a great start with a 70-run partnership in 38 balls. However, Rashid Khan got rid of the 15-year-old star on 31. Jaiswal kept going and made 55 runs off of 36 balls, which set up a strong base that Jurel used to finish the game.
When it was time to toss, RR captain Riyan Parag chose to bat first and made two changes to his team. "We are going to bat first. We need to look at and adjust to different situations. We hope to get a good score of around 210 and then defend it later. We want to be able to play in any weather. I want the team to be able to change. We don't want to play just one kind of cricket. We don't want to be a team that only scores or bowls for 200 runs or 250 runs. I think, as I said, I want us to look at the pitch, play through all the different weather conditions that the IPL gives us, and do well.
"Well, we wanted to bowl first too. New wicket, and I think the bowlers will get some help at first, but so far we're happy with the toss. Gill has a muscle spasm, but he should be back soon. At the toss, Rashid said, "KK (Kumar Kushagra) is playing his first game, and I'm looking forward to seeing him play."
