Delhi: Indian Premier League (IPL) team Gujarat Titans (GT) recently shared a social media post, which became a topic of discussion among the fans. In this post, while sharing a picture of Rashid Khan, he wrote, “New beginning and new story.” This forced the fans to think that perhaps the team is preparing to make a change in captaincy in IPL 2025.
IPL 2024 was not special
The performance of Gujarat Titans, which won the IPL 2022 title and reached the final in 2023, did not live up to the expectations in the last season. The team also failed to make it to the playoffs. This decline started when Hardik Pandya returned to Mumbai Indians (MI) ahead of IPL 2024. After this Shubman Gill was made the new captain of the team.

Rashid Khan can become captain
Recently, ahead of the IPL 2025 auction, Gujarat Titans retained Rashid Khan for Rs 18 crore. He is one of the main players of the team. The team spent Rs 16.50 crore to retain Shubhman Gill.
Looking at the team’s performance and social media posts, there is a possibility that Gujarat Titans may change the captain before IPL 2025. If this happens, Rashid Khan can be a strong option for captaincy. Rashid is not only an experienced player, but he has consistently performed brilliantly for Gujarat Titans since IPL 2022.
