\u201cI 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. We have had two exceptional seasons and I keenly look forward to leading the team with our exciting brand of cricket,\u201d said Gill in a statement issued by the franchise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In his first season with GT, where they won the trophy under Hardik\u2019s leadership, Gill made 483 runs in 16 games at an average of 34.50 and strike-rate of 132.33, including four half-centuries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Gill went on to become the leading run-scorer in IPL 2023, making a whopping 890 runs in 17 matches at an average of 59.33 and strike-rate of 157.80, including three centuries and four fifties, as Gujarat finished as runners-up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cShubman Gill has shown growth in stature and standing over the last two years at the highest level of the game. We\u2019ve seen him mature not only as a batter but also as a leader in cricket.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHis contribution on the field has helped Gujarat Titans emerge as a formidable force, guiding the team through a successful campaign in 2022 and a strong run in 2023. His maturity and skill is evident in his on-field performance and we are extremely excited to embark on a new journey with a young leader like Shubman at the helm,\u201d added Vikram Solanki, Director of Cricket, GT.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shubman-gill-appointed-captain-of-gujarat-titans-following-hardik-pandyas-move-to-mumbai-indians.jpeg", "alt_img": "Shubman Gill appointed captain of Gujarat Titans following Hardik Pandya\u2019s move to Mumbai Indians", "alt_title": "Mumbai : Celebrities attend 'Global Peace Honours' event organised by Divyaj Foundation", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Shubman Gill Appointed Captain Of Gujarat Titans Following Hardik Pandya\u2019s Move To Mumbai Indians On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Shubman Gill Appointed Captain Of Gujarat Titans Following Hardik Pandya\u2019s Move To Mumbai Indians, Shubman Gill: IPL 2022 winners Gujarat Titans have named Shubman Gill as captain of the team ahead of IPL 2024.", "seo_keywords": "Shubman Gill, New Delhi, Gujarat Titans, Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians, Captaining Gujarat, Vikram Solanki", "tag": "", "tagging": "Shubman Gill, New Delhi, Gujarat Titans, Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians, Captaining Gujarat, Vikram Solanki", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "shubman-gill-appointed-captain-of-gujarat-titans-following-hardik-pandyas-move-to-mumbai-indians", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1346", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-11-27 13:50:04", "updated": "2023-11-27 13:50:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Shubman Gill, New Delhi, Gujarat Titans, Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians, Captaining Gujarat, Vikram Solanki", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-11-27 13:50:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "england_cricket": "0", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/shubman-gill-appointed-captain-of-gujarat-titans-following-hardik-pandyas-move-to-mumbai-indians-132971" }
