Because of this intense competition, Chopra boldly said that Gill needs at least 700 runs in the upcoming IPL 2026 to bring himself back into serious T20I selection talks.
Aakash Chopra's bold prediction for Shubman Gill
He added, “Yashasvi Jaiswal is sitting outside, and Vaibhav Suryavanshi will be breathing down his neck at some stage. Ruturaj Gaikwad is also there. So, could this be the 700-800-run season in which he also plays a slightly different brand of cricket? That is something that Shubman Gill can do.”
Chopra added, “Could this be that season? I am expecting a slightly bigger role for him. You might see him at No. 4 or No. 5. When he has a bigger role in batting, you will expect a lot more from him in bowling.”
Last year, Sundar played only six matches for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025, where he managed only 133 runs in five innings at a strike rate of 166.25 and scalped only two wickets in 10.5 overs.
Can Gujarat Titans reach the IPL 2026 playoffs?
He signed off by saying, “Can they reach the playoffs once again? If you have reached the playoffs thrice in four years, played the final twice, and lifted the trophy once, this is perhaps the most successful team in the history of the IPL at this point in time. They are the best if we see the four-year sample size, but can they replicate that?”
