After Gujarat Titans (GT) finishing last in the points table of the ongoing IPL season, the captaincy of team captain and young Indian batsman Shubman Gill is facing severe criticism.

On the other hand, now amidst the criticism of the captaincy of this young player, he has got great support from the mentor of Gujarat Titans team, Gary Kirsten. Gary says that Shubman Gill has enjoyed captaincy and its challenges during IPL 2024.

Gary Kirsten gave a big statement regarding Shubman Gill

Let us tell you that in the IPL to be released today on May 10, Gujarat Titans are going to face five-time Chennai Super Kings at their home ground. So, in the pre-match conference held before the start of this match, GT team mentor Gary Kirsten said about the captaincy of Shubman Gill –

I think he has enjoyed captaincy, it is something that takes time to really master. So I think he enjoyed it this season. He is a world class player, so I have no doubt that he is going to do well in 1-2 of the next 3 matches. There is no doubt about this.

Gary further said- You definitely miss some players in the tournament, like we have missed Mohammed Shami for 2 years. It is difficult to replace such players. This season we have not been able to play the kind of cricket we can play and we played last season. Due to your inability to perform consistently, your shortcomings become known to other teams.
