PBKS vs GT Live Score: Gujarat Relies on Its Top Order
This IPL season will be extremely crucial for Gill. He will have the opportunity to reclaim his spot in the Indian T20 squad. Gill currently captains both India’s ODI and T20 teams. Despite having been appointed vice-captain of the T20 squad at one point, a dip in form prevented Gill from securing a place in the T20 World Cup squad. Following Hardik Pandya’s departure from the team after the 2023 season, Gill’s captaincy is also under increased scrutiny. Since winning the title in their very first season in 2022, the Gujarat Titans have carved out a distinct identity for themselves as a consistently high-performing team, regularly making it to the playoffs. They are entering this new season with a strong and stable squad. They have retained the majority of their players. Once again, they will rely heavily on their formidable top order.
