Defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) will look to continue their run for victory against the beleaguered Delhi Capitals (DC) in game no. 44 of the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) on Tuesday night. Hardik Pandya & Co are on a roll this season. With 6 wins and 2 losses, they are currently placed at the top of the standings with 12 points. They recently beat Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders and a win over Delhi on Tuesday will not only take them to a hat-trick but also bring them closer to the playoffs.

GT is one of the teams that has ticked almost all the boxes so far. Their biggest strength is that they don’t rely on the performance of just one player, but it has been a mixed effort from the whole unit. One of the best players on the team is their opening hitter, Shubman Gill, who has consistently delivered great starts.

Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has claimed that the Punjab cricketer will serve Indian cricket in all formats for a very long time.

“When spinners are attacking, Shubman Gill stays at the wicket, and that has been good for Gujarat. He reads spinners well and doesn’t take extra risks,” Manjrekar said.

In line with Manjrekar’s comments, Harbhajan also praised Gill for his mastery against tweakers.

Harbhajan Singh further said, “Gill is very comfortable against spinners. He is a master of this art. If the spinner forces Gill to come forward and play, he is not distracted. He takes his time and plays in his own style.
