On Thursday (March 24), India batter Shubman Gill had his first training session with the Gujarat Titans (GT) of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. He finished his quarantine and enjoyed his first training session with GT, complimenting the team on their friendliness.

"I was very excited to come out of quarantine and start my practice sessions with my team. I got a good welcome from the whole team," he said in a video released by the franchise on social media.

Because the training was a match simulation, he got to spend some time in the middle.

"It was a match simulation. I had fun. When you're batting after a week, it's important to just get your basics going and I had a good knock in the middle," Gill said in the video.

He also disclosed that Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik Pandya, who is generally a middle-order batter, experimented by facing the new ball during the match simulation.

"He was batting with the new ball in the first six overs. It was something new, but we had quite a lot of fun," he said.

He also mentioned how much he enjoyed working with his new teammates.

"Everyone is really friendly, everyone is really supportive. I am really excited and looking forward to what this season has for us," Gill said.

Gujarat Titans chose Shubman Gill as one of three draft picks ahead of the IPL 2022 Mega Auction in February.

The other two draft picks for GT were Hardik Pandya, the captain, and Rashid Khan, the star leg-spinner from Afghanistan.
