Shubman Gill will captain Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025.
Shubman Gill of Gujarat Titans believes that a successful captain should keep his batting separate from the captaincy. He said that mixing both captain and batting is never in the best interest of the team. Gill became the captain of Gujarat Titans in place of Hardik Pandya in the last session. After playing the finals in 2022 and 2023 under the captaincy of Padya, the Gujarat team finished eighth under the captaincy of Gill.
Gill said in a press conference before the training session, “The more you keep the captaincy and batting, the better it is. My experience is that if I am going to bat, then focus on batting. The decision I take as a batsman is the best for me. At the same time, when we are fielding, I join more in captaincy. It is good for me to stay as a batsman while batting. ”
As a captain, you learn something new every day- Shubman Gill
Gill, vice -captain of India’s ODI team, further said, “As a captain, you learn something new every day, about the players or about yourself.” To become a good captain, it is necessary to work on these things. ”Let us know that Gill scored 890 runs during the 2023 season, but the next season when he became captain, his number was reduced by half to 426 runs.
Even the strike rate was reduced from 157.70 to 147.40. The condition of the team was also very critical, as the team was far away from the playoff race. In such a situation, Gill would like to do well as a captain and batsman in the coming season.
Gill thanked Cricket Director Vikram Solanki and head coach Ashish Nehra for helping him in strategic affairs, as he himself is developing into a young leader. He said, “The experience I got from Ashu Bhai (Ashish Nehra) and Vikram is very valuable for me.” Gill believes that whenever GT has performed well at home, he has also performed well in outside sports.
