How much money has GT retained Shubman Gill for ahead of the IPL 2025 Auction?

Team India opener Shubman Gill has been retained by the Gujarat Titans ahead of IPL 2025 for ₹16.5 crore, making him the second retention for the Gujarat-based franchise.

Shubman Gill started his IPL journey as an 18-year-old playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders from 2018 to 2021. In the four years, he scored 1417 runs across 58 matches for the franchise, starring in the 2021 final against the Chennai Super Kings which KKR lost by 27 runs.

Ahead of IPL 2022, Gill made the switch from KKR to the newly-formed Gujarat Titans, becoming one of the three retentions alongside Hardik Pandya and Afghanistan spin-bowling all-rounder Rashid Khan. The Punjab lad was acquired for ₹8 crore.

Gill won the IPL trophy in 2022 and finished runners-up in 2023. Following Hardik Pandya's controversial departure to the Mumbai Indians, Gill was appointed skipper. But GT failed to make the playoffs for the first time since their inception. Gill had a rough start to his captaincy career at GT, with the Titans finishing eighth in the points table.
