It is a big question whether Shubman Gill, who will take charge of Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024, will remain the captain in the coming season also. Last season, Gujarat team could not perform well. It could not make it to the playoffs and now there are reports that this team can appoint a new captain for IPL 2025. It is not very difficult to answer the question of who will be the captain in place of Shubman Gill. Because the team has the best T20 player in the world. This player is Rashid Khan, whom Gujarat team can make the captain.
It is believed that the Gujarat team will retain Rashid Khan at number one. Which means that they can get up to Rs 18 crore. If Rashid Khan will be the top retention then obviously his value is also high. Rashid Khan has experience in leading the Afghanistan team. This is the reason why there is talk of Rashid leading Gujarat. However, this is still just speculation.
When Shubman Gill became the captain last season, his performance was good. He was successful in scoring 426 runs on the basis of one century and 2 half-centuries. However, before this season in 2023, he had scored 890 runs. In IPL 2023, this player had scored 3 centuries and his average was around 60. Apparently his performance had declined after becoming captain.
By the way, the captain of not only Gujarat Titans but Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Supergiants and Kolkata Knight Riders can change. Rishabh Pant's captaincy is not decided yet. Only Lucknow team can release KL Rahul. At the same time, it is not certain that Shreyas Iyer, who made KKR the champion last season, will remain the captain.
