Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar, Kagiso Rabada and Rashid Khan have linked up with Gujarat Titans (GT) ahead of the start of 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) for their pre-season practice sessions in Ahmedabad.

Gill joined the GT camp just after midnight and was greeted with fireworks.

Sundar was an unused member of the Indian team during their 2025 Champions Trophy win in Dubai on March 9 and took some time off, including being occupied with a house-warming celebration alongside his family in Chennai, before linking up with the GT team on Monday morning.

GT will be the fourth franchise Sundar will play for in the IPL after Rising Pune Supergiants, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Sunrisers Hyderabad. In last year’s mega auction, GT roped in Sundar, who has 37 IPL wickets, for Rs 3.2 crore.

Previously in the wee hours of Monday, South Africa pacer Rabada joined the GT team.

GT, the IPL 2022 winners, will start their 2025 season with back-to-back home games against Punjab Kings and five-time winners Mumbai Indians on March 25 and 29 respectively. The side had been table-toppers in IPL 2022 and 2023 seasons, before suffering an underwhelming eighth place finish in the 2024 edition of the tournament.
