Anshul Kamboj strikes early as in-form Shubman Gill perishes for 13 in GT vs CSK IPL 2025 match [Watch]

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) pacer Anshul Kamboj struck early as he took the prized scalp of in-form Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill in the IPL 2025 match in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 25. Gill was caught by Urvil Patel at first slip. He walked back for just 13 runs off nine deliveries as the hosts lost their first wicket for 24.

The dismissal came in the third over of GT’s run chase. Anshul Kamboj bowled a length ball, and Gill went for a drive but failed to connect it properly. The ball held its line and forced Gill to go after it. All he managed was a thick outside edge to Urvil, who completed a regulation catch at first slip.
