In the IPL 2024, Gill will lead the GT for the first time. He replaced Hardik Pandya, who led the team in the 2022 and 2023 IPL seasons. Under Pandya's captaincy, GT clinched their maiden title in IPL 2022 and ended up as runners-up in IPL 2023. However, Panday was traded to MI ahead of IPL 2024.

Talking about Gill's IPL's track record, he has mopped up 1373 runs at a strike rate of 147.79 for the Gujarat franchise in the last two years. He also bagged the Orange Cap with 890 runs in 17 matches including three centuries in the 2023 IPL season. The 24-year-old was also turned out to be the second-highest run-scorer ever in a single IPL season, after Virat Kohli’s record-breaking 973 runs in the 2016 IPL season.

 

Meanwhile, Williamson was removed from IPL 2023 after playing the first match of the season for the GT. He got injured while fielding against MS Dhoni-led CSK. However, he will be in action for the Titans this season.
