Gujarat Titans might have made a topsy-turvy start to IPL 2024 but their mentor Gary Kirsten backed Shubman Gill, and said the young captain will learn the nuances of making tactical decisions in the fast-paced world of T20 cricket. Titans, the IPL 2022 winner and the current runners-up, are now placed seventh on the table with two points from as many matches after a win over Mumbai Indians and defeat against Chennai Super Kings. "It's a fast game. You are making tactical decisions on a regular basis. It's not like Test cricket where it unfolds over a long period of time. "I've been really impressed with the way he's conducted himself as a leader," Kirsten told the media on the eve of GT's day-game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday. Kirsten said Gill, who took over as GT skipper after Hardik Pandya moved to MI, has adjusted to his role well.
