Though ipl

Madhya Pradesh Premier League: When Gujarat Titans' left-arm pacer Arshad Khan speaks about leadership and especially about Indian Test skipper and his IPL franchise skipper Shubman Gill, there’s a quiet respect in his voice.

Arshad, who himself is the captain of Bhopal Leopards -- a Madhya Pradesh League franchise-- and therefore appreciates the nuances of leading a side. In a chat with IANS, the young seamer opened up on his IPL journey, the impact of sharing a dressing room with elite names, and how domestic cricket remains the heartbeat of Indian cricket.

After Hardik Pandya’s move to Mumbai Indians, Gill stepped into the captain’s shoes for Gujarat Titans — a responsibility not easily shouldered in a tournament like the IPL, packed with high stakes and even higher expectations. But Arshad believes Gill is handling the pressure remarkably well.
