Ahead of his side's Indian Premier League (IPL) Campaign Opener Against Punjab Kings (PBKs), Gujarat Titans Captains Captain Shubman Gill Stressed on Maximizing The Powerplay Powerplay Powerplay Phase with Not being alle Gt will kickstart their ipl campaign against pbks at narendra modi stadium on March 25. Struck at 131.08 during that phase.
Only his opening partner Sai Sudharsan (115.49) Scored Slower Among Batters with at Least 150 Runs in the PowerPlay Last Year. After two back-to-back finals, include a title win, gt finished eighth in the IPL with just five wins in 12 completes. In this season, Gill was to lay the foundation for a big score with the bat.
Speaking during the Pre-Tournament Presser, as Quoted by Espncricinfo, Gill Said, “The plan is to score as many as many runs as possible and lose as as few wickets as possible. Powerplay or [the phases] After that last season. We could not play the way we wanted to in the powerplay and even after that, and that shows in the fact that we could not qualityfy [for the playoffs],
“As a Batsman, it is my responsibility to bat in a way that allows us to maximise the powerplay.
During the last IPL, there was eight totals of 250-plus, and it was a run-fest during the powerplay on many obscations. However, Gill said that his team is not trying to chase the 300-r total but playing their cricket according to the previving conditions and situations during a match.
“If the wicket or the situation allows us to make 240, 250, [or] 260 Runs, Yeah, We are not saying no to that, but there might be a situation where 150, [or] 160 would be an ideal total on a wicket. Hence, I feel as a team if you are only looking to play one way, then you are not adapting, and the hallmark of a great team is that it adapts the best to the suitable conditions and the challenges that are the same at the theme.
IPL 2024 was gill's first shot as captain at the Senior Level, Having LED Punjab on Two Occasions only Before that. Since then, He Has Led India in T20is, during the t20i tour of zimbabwe last July and was appointed as Rohit Sharma's Vice-Captain for the Tour to Sri Lanka and the ICCS Trophy.
Speaking on Captaincy, Gill said, “I have hadIENCE CAPTAINC GUJARAT [Titans] Than the Indian Cricket Team for Sure. And the experience that I get here from Ashu [Ashish Nehra, head coach] Paaji or Vikram [Solanki, director of cricket] Paaji is immensely pleasurable for me. It was my first year as captain, so there was a lot of things I could learn from. The challenging thing is you learn new things about a player or even about yourself. There webs I needed to work on, if I want to be a good captain. “
“I have played under Various Captains, and Each Captain have a different quality, and there some some qualities that resonate with you as a person, and those are the kind of Qualities that you tend to take forwards, and those is what I will try to do, “He added.
The 2023 IPL was a Breakout Season for Gill as He Made 890 Runs with Three Centuries and Four Fiftees, Winning the Orange Cap for Most Runs. He Started The Last Season on a Promising Note, Scoring 255 Runs in Six Matches at a Strike Rate of Over 151, but his form Dipped Later, Ending the Season with 426 Runs at a Strike Rate of 147.40, A.47.40, A Fifteies. Now, this season, gill aims to separate both batting and captivity.
“The More We Keep Batting and Captaincy Separate, The Better IT is,” He said. “In my experience, it is good if I do not mix it. When i go out to bat, the best thing for me is to play as a batter and take decisions according Are fielding or [are] Off the field. When I am batting, I focus only on batting, “He said.
Despite a poor season last year, gill is confident about his team this season due to their overall record, having won 28 matches across the last three seasons, the most by on team.
“If you look at our record over the past three years, we are the team with the most wins and the highest percentage of Wins is a new season, I do not think we have to do anything different, “He said.
“I think for the past three years we have played the most consistent cricket. I do not think we need to change anything. Years, “He Concluded.
