By Umesh KumarSports

Gujarat Titans (GT) players recently participated in a light-hearted segment in which they shared what careers they might have chosen had they not played professional cricket. This comes ahead of their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 showdown against the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH). The two teams are set to face off in Match No. 51 of the tournament on Friday, May 2, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

On May 1, Gujarat Titans’ official X account shared a light-hearted video in which players revealed the alternate careers they might have chosen. Leading the charge was veteran pacer Ishant Sharma, who hilariously said:

“20 saal ho gaye, iske alawa mujhe kuch nhi aata bhai, mere samajh mai bhi nahi aata ki kyaa banskta tha, yehi ban sakta tha bhai mai. [It’s been 20 years, I don’t know anything else, bro. I can’t even understand what else I could have become, this was the only thing I could have been].”

GT captain Shubman Gill said:

“If I would not be a cricketer, I think I would be a farmer because my family is into farming.”

Several other GT players also shared their alternate career choices, with Rashid Khan saying he would have been a doctor. Sherfane Rutherford mentioned he would have been an ‘Uber driver.’

The Titans have had a solid season so far, currently occupying fourth place in the points table with 12 points from nine games.
