Captain and face of GT has grown into role of leader, feels Shahrukh
SHUBMAN Gill's performances as Gujarat Titans skipper this season has captured the imagination of many in cricketing circles. He has brought the best out of his team-mates, with the likes of B Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, Prasidh Krishna and Sai Kishore putting up good numbers.
In his first year as captain, the Titans finished eighth in 2024. It was the first time since inception in 2022 that the franchise had missed on a play-off spot. Being more open to his players' suggestions and to switch between batter and captain are few of his key lessons from last year. That has come to fruition this season, with the Titans securing their play-off spot, and, if results go their way, a top-two finish.
