India’s emerging batting superstar Shubman Gill will be at the team’s helm after Hardik Pandya’s exit from the team. Gill performed exceptionally well in the previous season, with 890 runs in 17 games at a strike rate of 157.80. Gill was the leading run-scorer in the 2023 season and will be expected to do the same.
