Gujarat Titans debut Nishant Sindhu in IPL 2026

Gujarat Titans gave India U‑19 World Cup winner Nishant Sindhu his maiden IPL appearance in a 2026 clash with Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Captain Shubman Gill announced the move at the toss, pointing to the Titans’ strong recent chasing form and the desire to keep that momentum going. Sindhu, a left‑handed all‑rounder from Haryana, had been part of India’s 2022 U‑19 World Cup squad, taking six wickets and scoring a half‑century over five matches. He had previously played for Chennai Super Kings in 2023‑24 but did not feature in a game. The debut comes as the Titans aim to peak at the right stage of the tournament. forestarrow.help
