Gary Kirsten's Honest View On Shubman Gill Taking Over As Gujarat Titans Captain From Hardik Pandya
The Gujarat Titans have made their mark in the Indian Premier League, notably reaching the final twice under the leadership of Hardik Pandya , clinching victory in one instance. However, with Pandya now at the helm of the Mumbai Indians , the responsibility of leading the Gujarat Titans falls upon Shubman Gill , a talented young batter with limited leadership experience.
As Hardik Pandya takes charge of the Mumbai Indians, all eyes turn to Gill, observing how effectively he fills the void left by the dynamic all-rounder. Gary Kirsten , the franchise's batting coach, emphasizes the support staff's commitment to aiding Gill in his new role.
"I think the leadership is going to be an important role for him and I know he's really keen to do the job and we, as coaches, just need to assist him in making sure he's getting the best out of his players, and he's leading the team appropriately and in the way we want him to lead," Kirsten remarked, as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
While Gill may be relatively inexperienced in captaincy, he is widely recognized as a rising star in Indian cricket , particularly for his batting prowess. Nevertheless, the transition to captaincy presents fresh challenges for Gill, a point Kirsten acknowledges as he looks to support the promising youngster, who impressed during the IPL 2023 campaign.
"He's a quality player. He's a thoroughly nice person. He's got massive motivation and determination as an individual, which we've seen when playing for India. But like any new leader, he's starting from scratch, and he's going to be met with challenges along the way and we, as coaches, will just have to assist him along the way," Kirsten elaborated.
