Was the decision to give the captaincy of Gujarat Titans (GT) to Shubman Gill wrong?
Questions are being raised that despite experienced players like Kane Williamson and Rashid Khan, the decision to make Shubman Gill the captain was wrong, let’s see. Shubman Gill(BCCI/IPL) 3 teams have been eliminated from the playoff race of IPL 2024. Mumbai Indians are the first, Punjab Kings are the second and Gujarat Titans are the third teams whose dream of lifting the IPL trophy this year has been shattered. Gujarat Titans made their IPL debut in the year 2022 and they lifted the IPL trophy in the same year. After this, they reached the finals in IPL 2023 but the team remained runner up after losing to CSK. For both these years, the captaincy of the team was in the hands of Hardik Pandya. However, Gujarat traded its captain Hardik Pandya to Mumbai Indians at the beginning of this season, due to which the captaincy position became vacant. After that the team management decided to make young opening batsman Shubman Gill the captain. The legacy left by Hardik was handed over to Shubman Gill and the fans as well as the team hoped that Gujarat would go to the playoffs. But this season the team’s performance was very poor. This team has played 13 matches so far in IPL 2024, out of which the team won 5 and lost 7. The match against KKR was canceled and the team’s dream of going to the playoffs was shattered. Was the decision to give captaincy to Shubman Gill wrong? Now questions are being raised that the decision to make Shubman Gill the captain despite experienced players like Kane Williamson and Rashid Khan was wrong. Former Australian opener Matthew Hayden has supported Gujarat Titans’ move to hand over the captaincy to Shubman Gill despite their inability to reach the playoffs in IPL 2024. “We have all forgotten what a young player he is. He is still a child of the next generation, so he needs time to learn leadership. He will learn everything gradually. I think he’s a leader, whether he likes it or not. He is a quiet leader. If he can put all those things together and play, I’m sure he has a bright future.”

IPL 2024: The decision to bat after winning the toss became a big turning point of the KKR vs DC match, Delhi’s top order was shattered in the powerplay itself.
Kolkata has won an easy victory over Delhi by 7 wickets. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings (Image Credit- Twitter The 47th match of IPL 2024 was played today on 29 April between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals (KKR vs DC). KKR secured a comfortable 7-wicket win against Delhi on their home ground at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. DC lost against KKR due to bad decision On the other hand, after this victory, KKR has reached second position in the points table of IPL 2024. Also, Rishabh Pant’s decision to bat first at the time of toss on this spin-friendly pitch proved to be a big turning point of the match. Delhi was playing a match at Eden Gardens for the first time this season, and Punjab had earlier chased 261 runs at the ground. Keeping this in mind, Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant could have decided to bowl after winning the toss, but he did not do so. He decided to bat first on the new wicket, which had been the key to victory for his team in the last two matches. But in this match, this decision of Pant and Capitals management proved to be a miserable failure. Delhi Capitals, who won the toss and batted first, could score only 153 runs at the loss of 9 wickets in 20 overs against the excellent bowling of KKR. So the team had lost the wickets of three of its top order batsmen in the powerplay itself. By the fourth over, Prithvi Shaw (13), Jack Fraser McGurk (12) and Shay Hope (6) were out and returned to the pavilion. So after the early fall of wickets, Pant, who had set his sights on the crease after scoring 27 runs, also showed some haste in batting. Pant was out on the first ball of the 11th over while trying to play a big shot to Varun Chakraborty. At this time Delhi’s score was 93 runs. If Pant and Akshar Patel (15) had taken their slow partnership forward at this time, perhaps the result of the match could have been different. But due to their bad decisions and poor batting, today Delhi had to face defeat by 7 wickets against KKR. KKR easily achieved the target of 154 runs given by Delhi by losing 3 wickets in 16.3 overs. So this is Delhi’s sixth defeat in 11 matches. Delhi currently remains at sixth position in the points table with 10 points.

“This was Rishabh Pant’s place, he should have come to bat”- Former cricketer raised questions on DC’s decision.
Batting first, Mumbai had set a huge target of 235 runs for DC. Delhi captain Rishabh Pant, who came to bat at the beginning of the 16th over in this match, was out after scoring only one run and the Capitals could only manage 205/8 after playing 20 overs and lost the match by 29 runs. Speaking on Delhi Capitals’ run chase in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said that Pant should have batted at No. 3. They said that, “You rarely succeed in chasing a target of 234 runs. However, he fought hard. Here I have a question. Prithvi Shaw was playing well. David Warner was out – no problem. However, who came to bat at no. 3 – Abhishek Porel. Nothing against the kid, he is very good, he once gave away 25 runs to Harshal Patel in the last over, but this was in Rishabh Pant’s place.” The former opener further said, “Rishabh Pant should have come. why did not you come? You didn’t give yourself time. Abhishek Porel did whatever he could. He was running close to a strike rate of 150, which is not a bad result, but you were chasing 234, here you should have sent the best batsman. In the same video, Aakash Chopra praised Bumrah for taking important wickets and bowling very economically. They said that, “Prithvi Shaw batted well and they needed Jasprit Bumrah to get Prithvi Shaw out. Boom Boom is in a different league. In such matches, when you are defending the score, you feel that it is not a 20-over match because Bumrah does not score runs in four overs.”
