With a recent tweet implying a possible leadership change, the Gujarat Titans have raised rumors that they could be thinking about hiring a new captain for the 2025 Indian Premier League.
Following Hardik Pandya’s unexpected comeback to the Mumbai Indians in December 2023, Shubman Gill was named Gujarat’s new captain. However, the club only won five of 14 games and placed eighth in the IPL 2024 season under Gill’s captaincy, casting doubt on his future leadership.
The Gujarat Titans wrote the following mysterious message on X (previously Twitter) on Wednesday: “A clean slate.” “A new story,” with a picture of Rashid Khan staring at the blank screen. Rashid Khan emerged as the most probable contender for a possible captaincy change as a result of this.
Qualifications for Captaincy of Rashid Khan
With a solid leadership record, Rashid Khan has captained Gujarat Titans twice in the IPL, once against Chennai Super Kings in 2022 and again against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2023. He has considerable T20 cricket experience, having captained six teams, including Afghanistan’s national team, in 67 games and winning 34 of them, despite the fact that his second term as captain of Gujarat ended in defeat. Gujarat would be looking to a seasoned leader for the 2025 Indian Premier League if they were to make a change.
