Former Indian all-rounder Suresh Raina has voiced his support for Shubman Gill’s potential as the future captain of the national cricket team, amid speculation about current captain Rohit Sharma’s future. While Rohit Sharma aims to lead India to victory in the upcoming T20 World Cup and the World Test Championship next year, he recently lost his captaincy at Mumbai Indians to Hardik Pandya, who switched from Gujarat Titans.
With Hardik now leading Mumbai Indians, Gill assumed the captaincy for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024. Despite the team’s initial struggles with four losses in seven games, Raina believes in Gill’s leadership abilities, asserting that he could be India’s next skipper after Rohit Sharma.
Gill, the youngest captain in IPL 2024, has showcased his batting prowess, leading the Titans’ run charts with 263 runs in seven matches at an average of 43.83. As Gujarat Titans prepare to face Punjab Kings in their next match, Gill’s leadership and batting performance will be under scrutiny.
In their previous encounter this season, Punjab Kings secured a thrilling victory over Gujarat Titans. As Gill continues to lead and perform on the field, his prospects for future leadership roles in Indian cricket appear promising.
