— InsideSport (@InsideSportIND) March 31, 2026Meanwhile, GT captain Shubman Gill confirmed that Ashon Sharma will make his IPL debut. The 23-year-old hasn’t played a match despite getting picked by the Rajasthan Royals and the Kolkata Knight Riders in the past and is known to bowl over 145 km/h consistently. Jason Holder has been benched, with Kagiso Rabada and Glenn Phillips picked over him.
One of the surprising things was that Sai Kishore hasn’t even been included in the impact subs list. Perhaps Kishore is injured because last year, he was Gujarat’s second-highest wicket-taker. Glenn Phillips also returns to the IPL, having last played in 2023. Last year, an injury ruled him out, but now he’ll finally make his GT debut.
