On one hand, every player wants to earn crores of rupees, on the other hand, there is one player who is ready to give up crores of rupees for his team. We are talking about Shubman Gill who has made a huge sacrifice before IPL 2025. According to media reports, Gujarat Titans team is going to retain both Rashid Khan and Shubman Gill, but the interesting thing is that the first player to be retained will not be Shubman Gill but Rashid Khan. Shubman Gill is the captain of the team but despite this he is ready to be retained after Rashid.
Shubman Gill being ready to be retained at number two is a big thing in itself. Actually this player has become a big name of Team India. He is considered the next T20 and ODI captain. He is compared with Virat Kohli. He brings the biggest brand value among the current players but despite this he is ready to be retained at number 2.
Now since Shubman will be retained at number 2, it also means that this player will get less money than Rashid Khan. According to the rules of IPL retention, the first retained player will have to pay Rs 18 crore, while the second retained player will get Rs 14 crore. Meaning Gill will get less money than Rashid.
Fans are saluting this decision of Shubman Gill. Fans believe that Gill did not let his ego come to the fore for the team, which is rarely seen. Well, Gill also knows that if anyone is the biggest match winner of Gujarat Titans then it is Rashid Khan. If Rashid Khan is not in the Gujarat team then the balance of this team may deteriorate. This is the reason why there were reports that if Gill is retained at number one then Rashid Khan can go in the auction. Now Gill has stopped these news.
