India captain and Gujarat Titans star Shubman Gill demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to fitness and health protocols ahead of the crucial ODI series decider in Indore. Amid reports of a severe water contamination crisis affecting parts of the city, Gill reportedly took extraordinary measures to ensure his hydration safety.
Sources confirmed that the young opener arranged for a specialized water purification machine, valued at approximately INR 3 lakh, to be installed in his hotel room. This high-end device is reportedly capable of re-purifying even standard RO-treated and packaged bottled water, eliminating any potential health risks.
This proactive step underscores the meticulous preparation required at the elite level, especially for players like Gill, who are expected to lead the batting charge for both India and the Titans in the upcoming IPL season. Eliminating avoidable risks is paramount as the team seeks to maintain its perfect record at the Holkar Stadium and secure the series trophy.

Best run at Opening position in IPL 2025
Keep exploring stats tailored to Shubman Gill and GT.
Overall, Gill has amassed 216 runs from two matches at Indore, both of them centuries, at an astonishing average of 108.
The presence of Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan at the top of the order gives a lot of solidity to the side. While they might not be a flashy pair like Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, they are way more consistent and contenders for the Orange Cap. With Jos Buttler coming in at No. 3, the Titans have one of the most reliable top three in the league.
I think Shubman was five off 20 deliveries at one stage. So, as soon as Virat came in, he went bang, bang, bang. Just allowed Shubman to not feel the pressure that he needed to fix a switch or go into a different gear.
