There are many big names whose captaincy he has led, so I have no problem with this.’ This is a long-term photo: Scott Styris Scott Styris further said, ‘This is a long term picture. Many senior players are retiring and Hardik Pandya has not been made the captain, so I think Gautam Gambhir has appointed Suryakumar Yadav as the captain of the T20 team for a very short period, which will be for a maximum of one or two years. And after that Shubman Gill can be seen playing this important role. A lot of positive growth has been seen in Shubman Gill’s game as well. He has performed very well for the Indian team and has won the hearts of all the fans. However, now it is very important for him to perform consistently well in all three formats and this is something he will have to learn as a captain as well. It is very important for him to improve his cricket further. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
