[Saba Sports News] As the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 approaches its 17th season, fans eagerly anticipate who will emerge victorious in the prestigious tournament. In the run-up to this event, 2022 champions and 2023 finalists Gujarat Titans shared a motivational message from their ace batter, Shubman Gill, on Twitter. The 24-year-old emphasized the team’s spirit with insightful words, stressing resilience and the unique opportunity for redemption that the IPL offers.
Gujarat Titans captioned the post with a quote from Gill, “If the team is doing well and you’re not doing well, you still can take it and move on…That’s the spirit of the Gujarat Titans… #AavaDe.”
Gill spoke about the importance of staying positive and moving forward, even when personal performance doesn’t match the team’s success. He remarked on the IPL’s special nature, offering numerous chances for players and teams to bounce back.
“You want to get better and improve on your mistakes, when the team is doing well and you are not doing well, you still can take it and move onto the next match because IPL is one tournament where you actually get so many opportunities to redeem yourself as a player and as a team, that is why this tournament is so special. I think tough players and tough teams, they do last if they have the right mind.”
Gill’s performance has been noteworthy, especially in IPL 2023, where he was the tournament’s top run-scorer with 890 runs in 17 innings, playing a pivotal role in the Titans’ journey to the final. His remarkable skills were also on display in the recent ODI World Cup 2023, where he scored 354 runs across nine games.
This recent post by Gujarat Titans has sparked conversations among netizens, leading to speculation that the franchise might be hinting at Gill stepping up as captain, especially in light of reports about current skipper Hardik Pandya’s potential move back to Mumbai Indians.
