Young opener Shubman Gill is part of the new team Gujarat Titans in the 15th season of IPL (IPL-2022). The young all-rounder Hardik Pandya is handling the captaincy of the Gujarat team. This is the first time that Hardik is leading a team in the IPL. Shubman Gill has shared many things about Hardik's captaincy. He said about Hardik that he gives complete freedom to every player on the team.

Under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, Gujarat Titans made a great debut in this T20 league and won both their opening matches. In their first match, they defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 5 wickets while in the second match they defeated Delhi Capitals by 14 runs. The coach of this team is former Indian pacer, Ashish Nehra.

22-year-old Shubman Gill said on Friday before the match against Punjab Kings, 'The atmosphere of the dressing room is excellent. Hardik Pandya and Ashu Pa (Nehra) have made sure that the mood is always light. Not only in one match but in all the matches, the same situation prevails. It's been really good so far. Haven't done anything different this season (with batting), just tried to keep it simple.

Gill said about the captain, 'He (Hardik) gives full freedom to everyone to express themselves, he gives freedom to play freely. This gives you a lot of confidence as a player. Gill, who hails from Punjab, played brilliant innings of 84 runs in the last match against Delhi Capitals. He has played 13 international matches in his career so far. However, he has not yet gotten a chance to play for India in the T20 format. He has also scored 4 half-centuries in Tests.
