In recent months, Gill has been showcasing his prowess on the cricketing stage, particularly in the Test arena, where doubts loomed over his suitability as a long-term replacement for Cheteshwar Pujara in India's Test team. Despite initial skepticism, the 24-year-old emerged as the second-highest run-scorer in a recent series, reaffirming his capabilities and silencing his critics.
Now, Gill finds himself at the helm of the Gujarat Titans in the IPL, following the trade of Hardik Pandya to the Mumbai Indians. As the Titans seek a new leader for their campaign, Gill's appointment as captain comes as a testament to his leadership qualities and cricketing pedigree.
Who is the captain of Mumbai Indians for IPL 2024?
Expressing his gratitude and excitement, Gill stated, "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." He further added, "We have had two exceptional seasons, and I keenly look forward to leading the team with our exciting brand of cricket."
Gill embarked on his IPL journey with the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2018 before joining the Gujarat Titans ahead of the 2022 season. His impactful performances, including a match-winning unbeaten 45 in the IPL 2022 final, propelled the Titans to their inaugural title victory. In the subsequent season, Gill emerged as the highest run-scorer for the Titans, amassing 890 runs, including three centuries, in a stellar campaign.
All is not well at Mumbai Indians?
Supported by a formidable lineup including seasoned campaigners like Kane Williamson, Rashid Khan, and David Miller, Gill is poised to lead the Titans with vigour and determination.
