Gujarat Titans New Captain: It has been reported that powerful all-rounder Hardik Pandya would play for the Mumbai Indians rather than the Gujarat Titans in the IPL-2024. If this is true, it is logical to wonder who would lead the Gujarat squad in place of Hardik.
Hardik Pandya, India’s T20 captain, is expected to quit Gujarat Titans before the IPL auction this year. According to reports, he may rejoin the Mumbai Indians team. The Mumbai Indians’ administration has not responded in this respect.
Hardik Pandya played for the Mumbai Indians for seven seasons in the IPL. He joined the Gujarat squad and took over as captain after being released in the 2022 season. Following that, he guided the squad excellently, leading Gujarat to victory in his inaugural season. Aside from that, he led his team to the league finals thrice in a row.
If Hardik departs the squad, Kane Williamson may be appointed captain. Aside with Kane Williamson, spinner Rashid Khan is also competing. Previously, he led the squad in Hardik’s absence. Aside from these two, the club has great players like Shubman Gill who, if given the opportunity, can take up the captaincy.
According to reports, the franchisees have already discussed the possibility of Hardik Pandya rejoining the Mumbai club. Given these events, it appears that Hardik will depart Titans this time.
