Gujarat Titans batter Shahrukh Khan has hailed Shubman Gill’s captaincy skills after IPL 2026. Khan said Gill always has plans and so many options in his head. The power-hitter said Gill is mostly calm as a leader and tries to get the best out of his players.

Under Gill’s leadership, Gujarat Titans ended IPL 2026 as the runners-up after losing the summit clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Gill led from the front, scoring 732 runs in 16 matches at an average of 45.75 and a strike rate of 163.02 and ended as the second highest run-getter in the tournament.

“Shubman is a very calm and collected player. He prepares so meticulously for his batting, and that resonates with his captaincy as well. He’s got plans and so many options in his head to rotate the bowlers and set fields,” Shahrukh told RevSportz in an interview.

“He started off as a captain for GT and then went on to captain the Test side for the country. His growth from the IPL to the international level has been a tremendous sign,” he added.

Khan praised Gill for maintaining a positive environment within the team and hailed him for leading with aplomb.

“The way they keep the players together and maintain a happy environment – that’s the reason you see so many good performances. You want to play a good brand of cricket, and having so many support staff members you are comfortable with helps. They build that relationship with you,” Shahrukh said.

Gill is also leading India in the ODI and Test formats and has done a decent job in both forms of the game. He is currently leading Fazilka Falcons in the ongoing Sher-e-Punjab T20 League.
