New Delhi: Shubman Gill would not appear in Gujarat Titans jersey following the sudden and shocking departure. Gill was one of the pre auction retained players by the Gujarat side and a crucial asset for them to become Champions in their debut season. It is highly expected that he might return to his previous franchise of Kolkata Knight Riders in the next and coming IPL season.
Gujarat Titans retained Shubman Gill alongside Hardik Pandya and Rashid Khan before the Mega Auction and Gill proved their decision right as he was one of the top scorers in that tournament and even played a unbeaten match winning knock in the finals.
He scored 483 runs in 16 matches with a batting average of 34.50 and a 132+ strike rate. Gill was one of the key asset who played a major role in helping his side to win the IPL Trophy in their debut season.
The reason for this sudden and shocking departure is yet to be disclosed. Gujarat Titans made this announcement on their twitter handle saying “It’s been a journey to remember. We wish you all the best for your next endeavour, @ShubmanGill! ” and Gill responded with two emojis depicting a polite goodbye and Thank you.
Shubman’s future destination is something we would only know in near future but it is highly expected that he could return to his previous franchise home with Kolkata Knight Riders. The Knights’ camp was also his previous and first IPL home.
Although, a name like Shubman Gill is expected to cause quite a ruckus among teams wanting to get him as a part of their squad.
