RR vs GT: Why is Shubman Gill Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match?

Shubman Gill, the GT opener is seen sitting out in RR vs GT Match no 48 of Tata IPL 2023. This is the template GT has been following from the last 4-5 games of making Shubman sit out among substitutes if they bowl first. Shubman will surely come into the eleven in the second innings when GT bats and will open the innings alongside wicket-keeper batter Wriddhiman Saha. Check what GT skipper Hardik Pandya said at the toss,

“We were going to bat first as well. If the home captain does not know to what to choose, I thought might as well bowl and see what happens. They are a strong, consistent side. We have to be at our best. I don’t think so (smiles, when asked about changes to his side).”
