Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill remains a fitness watch ahead of Wednesday’s IPL clash against Delhi Capitals after missing the previous game with a muscle spasm.

Gill had sat out the contest against Rajasthan Royals in Ahmedabad, where visuals showed him heavily bandaged around the shoulder and neck area. The concern is not entirely new. The 26-year-old had also dealt with neck spasms during India’s 2025-26 home Test season, raising questions about recurrence and workload management.

However, there was a positive update on Tuesday as Gill returned to training.

In Gill’s absence, Gujarat Titans pushed Rajasthan Royals to the brink, falling just six runs short while chasing 210. That performance could influence team management’s decision, allowing them the luxury of not rushing their captain back unless he is fully fit.

If cleared, Gill will slot straight back into the XI. If not, Titans may once again take the field with Rashid Khan as captain.
