With Hardik Pandya moving back to Mumbai Indians, Gill has been appointed skipper of Titans, the same franchise that took a punt on Pandya, who had only led in Under-16 cricket.
In comparison to Pandya, Gill has more captaincy experience. The 24-year-old has led Punjab in two T20s, India A in six List A games and has also captained in four first-class matches, all of them in 2019.
Gill starred with the bat as Titans won the title in their inaugural season. He was also their highest run-getter in IPL 2023 with 890 runs in 17 innings, which included three centuries, as Titans finished runners-up. But the 2024 season will be Gill's first leadership assignment in the IPL.
Karsan Ghavri, who saw the raw talent in an 11-year-old Gill, feels he's ready to take the next step in his cricketing journey.
"I personally feel that it will be a great learning process for him. I am sure he will grow as a player. I hope that he will handle the pressure well," says Ghavri.
The former India left-arm medium pacer was leading BCCI's pace bowling academy at Mohali's PCA Stadium when he first saw Gill as an 11-yearold, and has followed his progress ever since.
"Captaincy is a lot more than scoring runs. It is a combination of lot of things. He will have to walk the talk, how he places fielders, how he manages tight situations. Everything will be counted," says Ghavri.
