3 reasons why Shubman Gill can guide Gujarat Titans to their second IPL title in 2024

Gujarat Titans are going into the next season without Hardik Pandya being their captain. It was a massive change for the franchise as Hardik led the team to two consecutive finals and a trophy in the very first year of existence. 

Now, the franchise has shown faith in a young Shubman Gill to lead the side in the upcoming season. We believe he can do the trick for the franchise, let us tell you 3 reasons why. 

He is a star performer

Shubman Gill was a natural choice for Gujarat Titans as he is the most consistent player in that franchise. Last season he was the orange cap holder with more than 800 runs to his name. Captaincy would be a big responsibility for Shubman but giving responsibility to someone who brings the best every time he takes the field is better than giving it to someone who has question marks on his own performance. The fact that he is the most consistent player in the team will help him earn the respect to lead his team. 

Has the backing of Ashish Nehra

One thing that has been very evident is that Gujarat Titans is a team driven by collective leadership. Even when a star like Hardik Pandya was the captain, Ashish Nehra had an equally important role in the decision-making. Nehra’s guidance helped Hardik Pandya create a conducive environment in the team dressing room and the same will happen with Shubman Gill. He can also lead the side to a title as he has the backing of the management led by Ashish Nehra. 

A formidable unit

Gujarat Titans have suffered a big blow as the veteran Mohammed Shami has been ruled out of the season. However, the former champions still have a competent enough unit. Shubman Gill has some match-winners at his disposal. If he can get the combination right at the start then the youngster might find it easy to steer the ship as Gujarat Titans have already won the champions and they know the formula.
