IPL 2024: Changes have been seen in many teams for IPL 2024. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians had traded Cameron Green to Gujarat Titans for Hardik Pandya. What is even more shocking is that Hardik has been made the captain of Mumbai Indians in place of Rohit Sharma. Well, now Gujarat Titans coach Ashish Nehra has broken his silence regarding Hardik Pandya going to Mumbai Indians. Gujarat became champion in 2022 under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, yet his decision to rejoin Mumbai Indians is a surprising decision.
Ashish Nehra's statement
Ashish Nehra said about Hardik Pandya leaving Gujarat Titans, “I never asked Hardik Pandya to stay. The way this game is progressing, we will continue to see such transfers in the future like international football clubs. This has been happening in the market.”
Meanwhile, Ashish Nehra said on making Shubman Gill the captain, “Not only me but the whole of India is excited to see Shubman Gill as a captain because he is a very special player.” Let us tell you that apart from Hardik Pandya, this time Gujarat Titans will not get the support of IPL 2023 Purple Cap winner Mohammed Shami because he is currently suffering from injury.
When will Gujarat Titans play their first match?
The first match of Gujarat Titans will be against Mumbai Indians on March 24, which will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium located in Ahmedabad. This match will be special because Hardik Pandya will be playing against his old team. Let us remind you that Gujarat had also reached the finals last season, but they had to face defeat against Chennai Super Kings. This time the responsibility of taking Gujarat forward will be on Shubman Gill.
