An ‘agreement’ between India and Pakistan was reached on Sunday, May 11, and the Gujarat Titans were the first team to start training again. At Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday, May 11, the team captained by Shubman Gill went into overdrive.
In the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025), GT leads the standings after winning eight of their first 11 games. They have won four of their previous five games and have a net run rate of +0.793. It is believed that the Governing Council of the IPL and the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) have directed teams to assemble their players for the last 16 matches, which will likely begin on Friday, May 16. These matches include the four playoff matches. In addition, the entire GT team participated in the training session, with the exception of Jos Buttler and Gerald Coetzee.
“Yes, our training has begun. We are prepared to leave, and the boys appeared well-groomed. Our whole team stayed. Only Gerald and Jos, but they will return when needed,” a GT spokesman told The Times of India.
The Gujarat Titans top the IPL 2025 rankings.
Gujarat has been playing exceptionally well this season. Right now, three of their batters—Buttler, Gill, and Sai Sudharsan—are among the top five run scorers of the season. Prasidh Krishna, who has taken 20 wickets in 11 games at an impressive economy rate of 7.65, is leading the assault for the Purple Cap. The tall pacer has benefited greatly from the assistance of Mohammed Siraj (15 wickets in 11 games) and Sai Kishore (14 wickets in 11 games).
Ahmedabad is scheduled to host three of the remaining 12 league phase games, based on the current schedule. Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Jaipur have been given one game each, while Bengaluru and Lucknow will host two matches each. The BCCI has not yet made the updated fixture list public.
