In a dramatic encounter in IPL 2025 on April 28, 2025, at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur for Gujarat Titans (GT) vs. Rajasthan Royals (RR), Rashid Khan became the captain of GT in the second innings after Shubman Gill left the field due to mild back spasms. This (hopefully) preventative injury saw Ishant Sharma introduced as an Impact Substitute. The pressure was on as Rashid, GT's vice-captain, took over the duties as captain and was introduced to lead the side in the second half of the match. In a high-stakes chase in front of a boisterous crowd, Rashid remained calm and displayed his tactical acumen.

Ultimately, Gill scored 84 runs from 50 balls, and when you add to this Jos Buttler's quick-fire 50 runs from 26 balls, this propelled GT to an imposing score of 209/4 off 20 overs. The bowling effort of RR (especially Maheesh Theekshana 2/35) was unable to contain the GT players at the top of the order capitalizing on a batting-friendly surface. But it was also a major blow to the GT side, as Gill has helped shape the decision-making of the side on the field this IPL season. Rashid Khan's world-class leg-spin and experience took on board the challenge of trying to captain an ace bowling assault against a desperate RR batting line-up, which was desperate to keep their playoff hopes alive after a string of losses.

RR's innings was sparked by a brilliant effort from 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, whose record-breaking 35-ball century for second-fastest in IPL history supported Yashasvi Jaiswal's unbeaten knock of 70 off 40 as RR chased down 210 in just 15.5 overs to win by eight wickets, with 25 balls remaining. While Rashid Khan took a wicket, GT's bowlers couldn't contain Suryavanshi's hit of an almighty bunch of sixes- to be exact. GT's loss meant they couldn't consolidate their top two spot, while RR's win, under stand-in captain Riyan Parag, kept their hopes alive in the playoffs.

Rashid's Moment to Prove

Rashid Khan was pleasantly surprised when he was made captain, even for one match, as it showed how much he had grown in stature in the IPL. While Rashid was better known for his world-class leg spin, he proved it was possible he could carry himself within the leadership role calmly and precisely. More information. While the game was an important part of growth and development, it will also be remembered as GT in the IPL 2025 season. Importantly, we would recall the great moment in which Rashid could lead when it mattered the most.

On Tuesday afternoon, a terrible terror attack took place in Pahalgam, a popular tourist spot in South Kashmir. Armed terrorists opened fire on a group of tourists in the Baisaran valley, also known as "mini Switzerland" because of its green meadows and scenic beauty. The attack killed several people and injured at least 20 others. 

According to reports, the shooting started around 3 PM when the attackers came down from the nearby mountains and began firing. A video from the area shows people lying injured on the ground, while others were crying and searching for family members. Jammu and Kashmir’s Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said the number of people killed is still being confirmed. He also said that this attack is one of the worst in recent years against civilians.

Leaders Across India Strongly Condemn the Attack

Union Home Minister Amit Shah said he was deeply saddened by the attack. He posted on X, saying, "Those involved in this act will not be spared." He also said he had spoken to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and held a meeting with top security officials. Shah is expected to travel to Srinagar to review the situation closely. A meeting was also held at his home in Delhi, attended by senior officials, including the heads of the Intelligence Bureau, CRPF, and Jammu and Kashmir Police.

Many political leaders strongly condemned the attack. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh called it an “act of cowardice” and said his prayers are with the victims. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said the government must take responsibility and take strong steps to stop such violence in the future. Sajad Lone, leader of J&K People's Conference, said the terrorists are enemies of Kashmir’s future. “They don’t want tourists to come here. They want to destroy our peace and economy,” he said. PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti also condemned the violence and said such acts must be rejected by all.

Indian Cricket Community Stands United Against Terrorism

This tragic attack has hurt not just the families of the victims but also the people of Kashmir, who depend on tourism for their income. Just when Kashmir was beginning to see more visitors, this attack has brought fear and pain again. The country now waits for strong action and justice for those who lost their lives in this cruel act of terror.

Indian cricketers also expressed their sorrow. Shubman Gill posted, “Heartbreaking to hear about the attack in Pahalgam. My prayers are with the victims and their families.” Gautam Gambhir wrote, “Those responsible will pay. India will strike. #Pahalgam.”

Heartbreaking to hear about the attack in Pahalgam. My prayers are with the victims and their families. Violence like this has no place in our country.

— Shubman Gill (@ShubmanGill) April 22, 2025

Targeting innocent tourists is an act of absolute cowardice. Heart goes out to all the victims and their families. Just when it should’ve been the start of a beautiful summer in paradise. Hope the perpetrators are dealt with in the severest manner .. #PahalgamAttack

— Jatin Sapru (@jatinsapru) April 22, 2025

Shocked and angry to hear what happened in Kashmir today. While those responsible will be punished, and I’m sure they will, right now there’s a numb disbelief at the terrible acts and the manner in which it all happened. Praying for the souls of those who lost their lives in…

The temperature in Ahmedabad has soared to nearly 40 degrees, presenting a major challenge for both Gujarat Titans (GT) and Delhi Capitals (DC) players during their face-off at the Narendra Modi Stadium. As part of IPL’s much-hyped "Revenge Week," the blistering heat has taken a toll not only on fitness levels but also on tempers. With dehydration and exhaustion setting in, players have been visibly affected, trying to cope with the intense conditions under the harsh afternoon sun.

The scorching heat may have also played a role in Gujarat Titans’ captain Shubman Gill’s visible frustration on the field. During the match, Gill was seen getting into a heated argument with the on-field umpire over a decision that didn’t go his way. His outburst caught the attention of fans and commentators alike, raising eyebrows about the skipper's temperament. Emotions seemed to be running high under the blazing sun, affecting even the most composed players.

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Gill has been involved in an on-field altercation with the umpiring staff. A similar incident occurred during GT’s match against Rajasthan Royals in the 2024 season, where Gill was again seen expressing his discontent aggressively. With this second public disagreement now under the spotlight, questions are beginning to arise over Gill’s reactions under pressure and how the rising temperatures might be amplifying tensions across the board in this IPL season.

Gujarat Titans climb to the first spot after defeating Delhi Capitals

Gujarat Titans clinched a dominant 7-wicket win over DC in Match 35 of IPL 2025. Delhi posted 203/8, with notable contributions from Abishek Porel (18), Axar Patel (39), and Ashutosh Sharma (37). Prasidh Krishna starred with the ball, picking up four wickets for GT. Despite a decent total, Delhi's innings was inconsistent, marked by a flurry of quick wickets in the death overs.

In response, GT chased down the target in 19.2 overs, thanks to Jos Buttler's explosive 97* off 54 balls and Shubman Gill's solid 75. Sai Sudharsan chipped in with 36. GT’s batting brilliance overshadowed Delhi’s bowling, sealing a comfortable win. With this win, GT have now climbed to the first spot in the IPL 2025 Points Table.

Ahead of the much-awaited IPL 2025 clash between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans on April 19 in Ahmedabad, KL Rahul and Kevin Pietersen shared a humorous exchange during a practice session. When Pietersen jokingly asked, “Who is a mentor?”, Rahul cheekily replied, “A mentor is someone who goes to the Maldives for two weeks mid-season.” The witty comment drew laughter from everyone present, including Gujarat captain Shubman Gill, and quickly gained traction on social media.

Pietersen, who rejoined Delhi Capitals this season as a mentor, had taken a short family vacation to the Maldives, missing two crucial matches against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians. However, he returned ahead of the Gujarat fixture and was seen actively engaging with players during training. Despite the break, Pietersen remains an influential figure in the DC camp, offering strategic insights and valuable mentorship to players like Jake Fraser-McGurk.

Delhi Capitals, led by stand-in captain Axar Patel, are enjoying a strong run this season with five wins from six matches, topping the points table. KL Rahul has been instrumental in their success, not just with his consistent batting performances, but also with his leadership presence. After a quiet outing against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rahul bounced back with a fluent 77 against Chennai Super Kings and followed it up with a match-winning unbeaten 93 versus Royal Challengers Bengaluru, lifting team morale both on and off the field.

These light-hearted exchanges highlight the strong camaraderie and mutual respect shared between the players and support staff. By using humor to keep the mood upbeat, DC are creating an environment that nurtures confidence and unity. The franchise even shared the viral moment on their official social media, pairing it with a cheeky caption that was warmly received by fans.

As Delhi Capitals prepare to take on Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the team will look to carry forward its impressive momentum. With five wins in six games, confidence is running high within the squad. The combination of winning performances and a relaxed, cohesive dressing room bodes well for DC's continued dominance. All eyes will be on the Capitals to maintain their rhythm and strengthen their position in the IPL 2025 standings.

Prasidh Krishna: Prasidh Krishna is a consistent performer with the ball for Gujarat Titans, as the right-arm pacer picked up 10 wickets in six matches with an incredible economy rate of 6.95. 

Kane Williamson is not playing in the IPL this year, but the New Zealand veteran still has a sharp eye on the future of cricket. During a recent chat on the Bombay Sport Exchange show by the Times of India, he was asked a pretty simple question: who are the next big stars of world cricket?

And as always, Kane gave a calm, thoughtful answer. He named five young players who, in his opinion, could define the next era of international cricket once the likes of himself, Kohli, Smith, and Root move on.

Here’s the list he gave, and it’s a solid mix of flair, form, and future potential:

• Yashasvi Jaiswal
• Shubman Gill
• Rachin Ravindra
• Harry Brook
• Cameron Green

Let’s take a look at why each name was cut.

Yashasvi Jaiswal – The Breakout Star from India

Yashasvi’s rise has been nothing short of spectacular. At just 22, he’s already racked up nearly 1,800 runs in Test cricket at an average above 50, and he’s done it with flair. His aggressive strokeplay and fearless attitude make him a perfect fit for modern-day cricket, but it’s his calm under pressure that truly sets him apart. He’s also part of India’s T20 World Cup-winning squad and looks like someone who’s just getting started. ODI debut? Still pending. But it’s only a matter of time.

Shubman Gill – The Future Captain in the Making

Shubman Gill carries the aura of a future Indian captain, mature, composed, and incredibly consistent. With a classical technique and an eye for big runs, he’s already proven himself across formats. Nearly 2,800 runs in ODIs at an average close to 60, five Test centuries, and a cool head in high-pressure situations make him one of the most complete young batters in the game today. Whether it’s the IPL or a tense Test match overseas, Gill rarely looks out of place.

Rachin Ravindra – New Zealand’s Next Big All-Rounder

A true all-format asset, Rachin Ravindra has quietly become a key figure in New Zealand’s plans. He’s already notched up over 1,000 Test runs, including a mammoth 240, and can bowl handy left-arm spin. What makes Rachin special is his adaptability. he can bat anywhere in the order, adjust to any format, and still find ways to make an impact. Kane Williamson sees in him a mirror of the dependable Kiwi spirit.

Harry Brook – England’s Bazball Poster Boy

Harry Brook is redefining what aggressive Test batting looks like. Just 24 Tests in and he’s already closing in on 2,300 runs at an outrageous average close to 60. Eight centuries. A top score of 317. And he’s just been handed England’s white-ball captaincy. Brook is bold, fearless, and thrives under pressure, a perfect match for England’s high-octane approach under the Bazball banner. If there’s one player who looks like he could rewrite Test cricket's norms, it’s Brook.

Cameron Green – Australia’s Powerhouse in Progress

Cameron Green’s numbers may not scream superstar just yet, but the potential is unmistakable. He’s an old-school Test all-rounder with modern-day power over 1,300 runs in Tests, a top score of 174 not out, and the ability to crank it up with the ball. Injuries have slowed him down a bit, but when fully fit, Green is one of the most impactful players Australia has. Think of him as the long-term engine room of Aussie cricket.

Still In the Game, Just Off the Field

Even though Kane went unsold in the last IPL auction, he’s stayed involved with the league through commentary and mentoring. He spent time at a local academy in Mumbai recently, sharing his experience with young players. When asked which shot he’d love to borrow from another batter, he smiled and picked Virat Kohli’s wristy leg-side flick. A classy choice, and a nice nod to a fellow great.

Williamson will be joining the Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League later this month. After that, he’s expected back in New Zealand colours for a T20I tri-series in July featuring Zimbabwe and South Africa. Kane’s picks for the next Fab Five show he’s been watching closely and thinking ahead. These five have already made their mark, but with someone like Williamson backing them, the spotlight is only going to get brighter.

Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will host the 23rd game of the IPL 2025 on Wednesday evening (April 9), and the match is Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals (GT vs RR). Let's check the Dream11 top captains and vice-captains of the GT vs RR match.

Rajat Patidar: RCB captain Rajat Patidar is in outstanding form with the bat. After scoring a stormy 34 off 16 balls in the tournament opener against the hosts Kolkata Knight Riders, Patidar scored a valuable, heroic 51 off 32 balls against the hosts Chennai Super Kings.

Virat Kohli: The leading IPL run-scorer Virat Kohli is set to return to his favourite venue, M Chinnaswamy Stadium (Bengaluru). His fans are waiting for a great start for Kohli in Bengaluru in this IPL season, while he scored 59 not out and 31 runs in the first two matches of the IPL 2025.

Shubman Gill recorded the fastest 1000 IPL runs at a single venue as an Indian

While Gill became the 17th cricketer to score 1000 IPL runs at a single venue, he recorded the second-fastest 1000 IPL runs at a single venue. Gill took only 20 innings to complete 1000 IPL runs at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Only the legendary Caribbean cricketer Chris Gayle has a better record than Gill in this list, as the left-handed top-order batter completed 1000 IPL runs at M Chinnaswamy Stadium (Bengaluru) in just 19 innings.
