In a development that has delighted and left cricket enthusiasts buzzing, cricket legend and former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh was seen in the presence of Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill in Chandigarh just a few days ahead of the IPL 2025 playoffs. The event has left everyone speculating whether the 2011 World Cup champion is becoming a coaching or mentor figure at the Gujarat franchise as they prepare for the nail-biting games ahead.

On social media, the Gujarat Titans, who have already earned a spot in the playoffs, posted a picture of Shubman Gill and Yuvraj Singh strolling together with the message, "Ki haal chaal, #TitansFAM?" The two were seen arriving at Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport together on Monday night. Fans were left heartbroken not to have been able to meet homegrown sensation Gill, having made the journey to welcome him.

In a turn of events, pre-season news linked Yuvraj Singh with a possible coaching role at the Titans, replacing Ashish Nehra as head coach. While Nehra retained his place, Yuvraj's close link with both Nehra and Gill, especially his mentorship of Shubman during the COVID-19 lockdown, left space for potential future collaboration.

Now 43, Yuvraj has an armful of experience and a proven record of big-match match-winning knocks. Even if he goes to the Titans' camp, unofficially as an advisor, it would be a confidence booster for the players. Yuvraj has won almost all the top cricketing awards from the 2007 World Cup T20 and 2011 World Cup ODI to two IPL trophies, and his very presence is regarded as a lucky omen.

Playoff-Bound Gujarat Titans Under the Scanner with Yuvraj Singh Joining the Fray at Mullanpur Camp

The 2022 IPL champion Gujarat Titans have been unstoppable so far in the 2025 season. They've won nine games out of their 14 league matches but made their playoff entry after consecutive losses to Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings. Depending on the turn of the RCB vs LSG game, GT will play the Qualifier 1 or the Eliminator at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, and everything is set there to host the two crucial playoff games in a spanking-new full-house setting.

As GT gets ready for its last preparations, the stadium is humming with excitement. On Tuesday night between 6 and 9 PM, the team will practise at Mullanpur under the floodlights. The city should soon see the arrival of other playoff contenders, including the Royal Challengers Bangalore, the Mumbai Indians, and the Punjab Kings. With the playoff war heating up, everyone's attention will be focused on the Gujarat Titans and whether the Gujarat visit of Yuvraj Singh is a stroke of mastermind strategy or merely a trip to meet friends before another edge-of-the-seat IPL finale.
