Latest News about Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill made his first appearance of the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy for Punjab against Chhattisgarh at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, after missing the opening match against Assam. He was dismissed for one run while batting at No. 4, but Punjab still beat Chhattisgarh by seven wickets. The match was seen as preparation for India's upcoming two-Test tour of New Zealand.
Shubman Gill scored 104 off 53 balls in Gujarat Titans' Qualifier 2 win over Rajasthan Royals, helping his side complete a record chase of 215 and reach the IPL 2026 final. He was named Player of the Match after anchoring the chase with a dominant century.
Gill became the first player to hit 100 sixes for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026 during a match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The milestone added to his strong season with the franchise.
Gill missed a Gujarat Titans IPL 2026 match against Rajasthan Royals because of a muscle spasm. Rashid Khan led the side in his absence, and reports said Gill was expected to return soon.
Gill chose not to take a break after India’s recent ODI defeat to New Zealand and returned to play for Punjab in the Ranji Trophy. The decision reflected his commitment to red-ball cricket during a difficult patch in form.
Reports in early 2026 said Gill, who was India’s Test and ODI captain, had been under pressure after a poor run in T20Is and a challenging end to the previous year. The coverage focused on his struggle to retain a place in India’s shortest-format plans.
