Gujarat Titans' captain Shubman Gill suffered a minor back spasm during their last match against the Rajasthan Royals, which led to his substitution. Rashid Khan stepped in as the stand-in captain in Gill's absence.
Gill confirmed the back spasm during the post-match presentation when asked about his absence on the field. He stated,
“I felt a little back spasm in my back, and since we have a game coming up in a couple of days, the physio didn't want to take any chances.”
