Gujarat Titans’ head coach, Ashish Nehra, has shown his support for Shubman Gill as the captain for IPL 2024. Nehra highlighted Gill’s improvement in skills over the past few years.
This endorsement comes after the Titans officially named Gill as the captain for the upcoming 2024 season. The decision followed Hardik Pandya’s departure from the Gujarat-based team to rejoin his past IPL franchise, Mumbai Indians during the trade window.
Gill’s promotion to captaincy seems to be a recognition of his outstanding performance in the last IPL season. He emerged as the top run-scorer in IPL 2023, amassing 890 runs in 17 matches with an impressive strike rate of 157.80. His remarkable innings included three centuries and four half-centuries.
It’s a significant responsibility for Gill, considering Pandya led the franchise to two consecutive IPL finals, clinching their maiden title in the inaugural season (2022). Gill will now aim to continue the Titans’ success under his leadership in the upcoming IPL season.
Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra on shubman gill.
“IPL is a fast game and it throws challenges for everyone. We have seen how Shubman Gill has been playing for three-four years and how he has shaped up. He is 24-25, but he has a good head on his shoulders. We are there to support him. We believe in him that’s why we have made him the captain.“
further added-
“I am not someone who will always go by results. There are so many other things too. Yes, everyone strives for results. Everyone looks for results. But when it comes to captaincy, you must see different things. We are very confident that Shubman is the right guy.”
