The IPL 2025 is underway as Gujarat Titans led by Shubman Gill are all set to play against Punjab Kings on 25th March 2025.

"It's a team game. One guy can't win it. So, I don't think it has anything to do with Shubman or his captaincy. I think T20 cricket has more to do with who's in form at the right point in time, and the Sunrisers and KKR were in the best form for the trip, you know," said Glenn Phillips in the media interaction according to Hindustan Times.
