[Saba Sports News] Shubman Gill, the newly appointed captain of Gujarat Titans (GT), has expressed his excitement about leading the team in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). He has assured fans that GT will maintain the same level of performance as in the previous two editions as they prepare for their opening clash against Mumbai Indians on March 24 in Ahmedabad.
Ahead of the eagerly anticipated fixture, Gill addressed the fans, expressing his eagerness to share the season with them. The 24-year-old expressed confidence in the team, aiming for another memorable season in the cash-rich league.
“As your captain, I can’t wait to experience this IPL season with all of you. We have had two remarkable seasons with everyone giving their all. You from the stands, us on the ground. As we embark on this new season, I assure you that the GT way remains unchanged. We believe in our group, and we will strive to make it happen for you. Let’s come together and create another memorable season,” Gill stated in a video released on GT’s social media platform.
Gill, who assumed the captaincy of Gujarat Titans after Hardik Pandya’s trade to Mumbai Indians, had previously expressed gratitude to the franchise for entrusting him with such a significant opportunity. The Punjab-born batter has been instrumental for GT since their debut season in 2022, notably winning the Orange Cap in the 2023 season after accumulating 890 runs in 17 games.
“I am delighted and proud to take on the captaincy of Gujarat Titans and thank the franchise for their confidence in me to lead such a talented team. We have had two exceptional seasons, and I eagerly anticipate leading the team with our exciting brand of cricket,” Gill added.
