What Shubman Gill Said On Playing Against Hardik Pandya In GT vs MI IPL 2024 Clash | Cricket News

Hardik Pandya returns to Ahmedabad as Mumbai Indians take on Gujarat Titans, a franchise he managed for two seasons before returning to his old side. After Hardik decided to leave for Mumbai, Gujarat promoted Shubman Gill as the skipper of the team. However, Gill and Hardik will reunite on Sunday as MI travel to Ahmedabad for their opening match of the season against GT. Considering how the IPL dynamics have changed, Gill admitted that it will be an exciting battle with Hardik when the two face each other at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

Before the match, Gill spoke about his admiration for some of India’s best captains. Although the top-order batsman has not played under MS Dhoni’s captaincy, it is the wicketkeeper-batsman he has admired most as a leader.

“I haven’t played under Mahi Bhai (MS Dhoni) as such, but when I see him playing on the field as a kid, he is my inspiration,” the opener said.

Virat Kohli is also someone Gill looked up to, but it is Rohit Sharma under whom he has played most of his Team India career.

“I have also played under Virat (Kohli) Bhai but I have played most of my cricket under Rohit (Sharma) Bhai and there are a lot of qualities that I will personally pick from him,” the 24-year-old added. .

“It’s great to play against Mumbai Indians, who have won the title five times. But when we play them in Ahmedabad, we haven’t lost a game against MI here, so hopefully we can continue this run,” he explained .

When it comes to Hardik, under whom Gill has played in both the Indian team and Gujarat Titans, it will be exciting to take on the all-rounders-led Mumbai side.

“It’s going to be exciting. Hardik (Pandya) bhai is someone I have played with both in the Indian team and GT. So it will be an exciting and fantastic dynamic,” Gill assured.

“Hopefully there are a hundred and ten thousand people cheering for us and there’s nothing better than that,” he said.
