Former SRH coach and Australian player Tom Moody has cautioned Shubhman Gill ahead of his new journey as the skipper of the Gujrat Titans.
Shubhaman Gill, who was the leading run-scorer for the franchise in the previous edition of the IPL, has been appointed as the team’s skipper ahead of the upcoming IPL season. Shubman Gill was appointed captaincy after Hardik Panda was traded to the Mumbai Indians from the Gujarat Titans.
In his recent interaction with ESPNCRICINFO, Tom Moody said, “For Shubman Gill, it is the unknown. He may have captained at a lower level, but this is a different story, the IPL. And following a very successful two years for the Gujarat Titans, he is stepping up to the plate after Hardik Pandya had such an impact as a leader. Can he follow in those footsteps, or can he create his own?”
However, ahead of the upcoming IPL season, Gujrat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra has backed Gill to do well in the upcoming IPL season.
Ashish Nehra said, “IPL is a fast game, and it throws challenges for everyone. We have seen how Shubman Gill has been playing for 34 years and how he has shaped up. He is 24–25, but he has a good head on his shoulders. We are there to support him. We believe in him. That’s why we have made him the captain.”
Gurjat Titans will play against Mumbai Indians in their opening encounter on March 24 in Ahemdabad.
