Speaking ahead of the campaign, Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill came forward and talked about his recent performances in the IPL, claiming that he has nothing to prove ahead of the new season.ย
“I think if you look at the past three or four seasons, I think I have the most runs in the IPL. So I don’t think I have anything to prove in this season particularly. And the four years that I have played for this team, I think we have done decently well as a team. And I think I have done decently well as a batsman,” Gill said in the pre-tournament press conference.ย
“So I don’t think I need to prove to anyone my worth. I think I need to do what I have been doing for the past four years. And as a team, we need to be consistent, which I think we have been. And if we continue doing that sooner or later, I think we will win that trophy once more,โ he added.
