Gujarat Titans appoint Shubman as captain, team respects Pandya’s decision to move to Mumbai Indians

Ahmedabad, 27/11: Gujarat Titans on Monday appointed Shubman Gill as their captain for the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) following Hardik Pandya’s decision to move back to Mumbai Indians.

The Gujarat Titans will receive Rs 15 crore from MI for the all-cash trade deal apart from a hefty undisclosed transfer fee, a part of which will also go to the cricketer. Once Pandya’s exit was sure, 24-year-old opener Gill was an obvious captaincy choice.
