Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill gave a light-hearted answer to a confusing question from a journalist at the IPL 2025 pre-season press conference as well. Gill also attended the media event along with head coach Ashish Nehra, assistant coach Parthiv Patel, director of cricket Vikram Solanki and COO Colonel Arvinder Singh as well.

During the press conference, the organizers asked for only two more questions but some of the media team members ended up asking four
to five things to Gill at the same time. Shubman had a smile on his face as he mentioned how the media team member smartly asked all his questions.

“Chaar paanch question aap ne ek hi question me puch liye,” Gill said (You’ve asked 4 to 5 questions in 1 question)”Me ye hi baat soch raha tha (I was thinking), Thank God you didn’t ask me,” Nehra joked.

Answering the question, Gill replied: “Speaking about lessons, I learned a lot of new things in my first year as the captain. I think the most interesting and challenging thing about captaincy is that everyday you learn something new about the players and about yourself.”

During the same press conference, Shubman Gill also mentioned that his team did not need any ‘special’ plans to win matches as well. Gill also reminded how GT had been the most consistent team in the last three seasons as well.

“I don’t think anything special sir. I think if you look at the records, we are the team with the most wins and the highest percentage of wins. I don’t think we have to do anything different. Over the last 3 years, we have played consistent cricket, and the results speak for themselves,” Shubman Gill concluded.
