IPL 2026: Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Shubman Gill broke his silence on his T20 World Cup 2026 snub, saying that he has no regrets about missing out on the prestigious ICC event.

The Gujarat-based franchise will begin their IPL 2026 campaign on March 31 against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium in Mullanpur.

On November 27, 2023, Gujarat Titans appointed Gill as captain. The 26-year-old is now set to lead the franchise for the third consecutive season.

Recently, Gill has endured a lean patch in T20Is, which led to his omission from Team India’s World Cup-winning squad. However, the young batting sensation remains confident in his abilities.
