The young Indian cricketer Shubman Gill is one of the most talented players of the present times and soon we will see him leading his IPL team Gujarat Titans as GT’s skipper Hardik Pandya has been traded off to his old franchise Mumbai Indians.
Hardik Pandya led GT in the last two seasons and it won’t be wrong to say that he was wonderful as a skipper because the team played the finals in both the seasons and won the trophy in their debut season as well.
Hardik Pandya played seven seasons for MI before moving to GT and the announcement regarding Shubman Gill’s appointment as the skipper of GT was made by Mr. Vikram Solanki, Director of Cricket, Gujarat Titans.
He stated, “Shubman Gill has shown growth in stature and standing over the last two years at the highest level of the game. We’ve seen him mature not only as a batter but also as a leader in cricket. His contribution on the field has helped Gujarat Titans emerge as a formidable force, guiding the team through a successful campaign in 2022 and a strong run in 2023. His maturity and skill is evident in his on-field performance and we are extremely excited to embark on a new journey with a young leader like Shubman at the helm.”
Shubman Gill responded to this announcement with, “I am delighted and proud to assume the Captaincy of Gujarat Titans and thank the franchise for their trust in me to lead such a fine team. We have had two exceptional seasons and I keenly look forward to leading the team with our exciting brand of cricket.”
Congratulations and all the best to Shubman Gill!
