IPL 2025: GT skipper Gill wants team to "maximize the powerplay"
Mar 20, 2025
GT will kickstart their IPL campaign against PBKS at Narendra Modi Stadium on March 25. During the last year's IPL, GT's run-rate during the first six overs, 7.72, was the lowest among all teams and Gill struck at 131.08 during that phase. Only his opening partner Sai Sudharsan (115.49) scored slower among batters with at least 150 runs in the powerplay last year. After two back-to-back finals including a title win, GT finished at eighth in the IPL with just five wins in 12 completed matches. In this season, Gill wants to lay the foundation for a big score with the bat.
