Gujarat Titans have opened their account of victory in IPL 2025. In the match played against Mumbai on 29 March, Gujarat Titans won by 36 runs. This match was in the name of Gujarat bowlers, who bowled very economically and defended the target. However, during this match, Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill took a decision that surprised everyone. He used his most important bowler Rashid Khan very little in this match.

This happened for the first time with Rashid Khan in IPL.

Rashid Khan is a very successful wicket-taking bowler in T20. His 4 overs are no less than a disaster for the opposing team. But a different scene was seen in this match.

During this, Rashid Khan conceded 10 runs at an economy of 5 and did not take any wickets.

Let us tell you, Rashid Khan has been playing in the IPL since 2017. During this time he has played under the captaincy of many players. But this was the first time in his IPL career that a full 20 overs were bowled in an innings and he did not get a chance to bowl 4 overs. Earlier he had bowled 4 overs of his quota every time. However, this decision of Gill worked for the team and he managed to win this match.
