Gill's GT plans spin-free pitches after five defeats

Gujarat Titans are ditching spin-friendly pitches at home after five consecutive defeats this season. Shubman Gill's thinking is straightforward: the current surfaces have done more damage than good to their batting lineup, and they want wickets that let bat and ball compete on more even terms.

Recent losses where spin choked their scoring have forced the hand. The team's leaning on domestic results and net sessions to reshape their pitch prep, banking on flatter surfaces bringing higher totals and fewer surprises off the bounce.
