Captain of Gujarat Titans Shubman Gill The IPL 2025 underlined the importance of “maximizing powerplay”. The team along with Gill to read the lowest run rate of 7.72 in Powerplay last season and the strike rates of their early companions Sai Reformson to read 131.08 and 115.49 in the first six overs. This was Gill's first season as the captain and the team finished eighth.

“There are plans to score more and more runs as a plan, and we have to lose as low wickets as possible. We did not perform well in the powerplay or after the last season. We could not play the way we could and even after that in the powerplay and even after that, and in the fact that we could not qualify,” said Gill at the GT's press conference on Wednesday, 19 March.
He said, “As a batsman, it is my responsibility to bat in a way that allows us to maximize the powerplay. That's what I try for it, and hopefully, this time we improve errors from last season,” he said.
We are not trying to score 300 as total: Gill
Although Gill wants to promote his team's powerplay score this season, he does not want him to have a lot of goals and may be unnecessarily failed unnecessarily. The 25 -year -old wants his batsman to assess the first situations and play accordingly.
“मुझे नहीं लगता कि एक टीम के रूप में हम कुल 300 का पीछा करने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं। यह नहीं है कि हमारा उद्देश्य क्या है। हम यह आकलन करेंगे कि स्थिति क्या है और स्थिति क्या है, और हम उस तरह का क्रिकेट खेलना चाहते हैं। यदि विकेट या स्थिति हमें 240, 250, 260 रन बनाने की अनुमति देती है, तो हम उस स्थिति में नहीं कह सकते हैं, 160, 160, 160, 160, 160, 160, 160, 160, 160 नहीं होगा।
“So, if I feel as a team if you are just wanting to play in a way, then you are not getting favorable, and the identity of a great team is that it is best for suitable situations and challenges thrown at them,” GT Skipper said.
