The 2022 champions started their IPL 2025 campaign on a disappointing note. They suffered an 11-run defeat against the Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on March 25. GT's bowlers were hammered by Punjab’s batters, and Gill's bowling changes were not perfect during the match.
“I thought that Shubman Gill’s captaincy wasn’t up to the mark, he wasn’t ready, he wasn’t proactive. When Siraj was bowling well, he brought on Arshad Khan, who I think conceded 21 runs in the powerplay, and that over changed the momentum," Sehwag said while speaking on Cricbuzz.

Mohammed Siraj conceded 14 runs in his first two overs. However, Shubman Gill opted to bring in medium-pacer Arshad Khan. Arshad managed to generate some swing with the new ball, but Punjab Kings opener Priyansh Arya smashed four boundaries in the over. It helped Punjab to continue its dominance.
During Gujarat’s steep run chase, Gill scored a brisk 33 off 14 balls. However, his innings ended when he was dismissed by Glenn Maxwell in the final over of the powerplay.
