De Villiers called Kane Williamson the perfect player to captain Gujarat Titans. De Villiers says that Kane Williamson should have got the captaincy of Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024 and during this time Gill should have learned from Williamson how to lead the team. The veteran South African batsman has even said that this decision of Gujarat Titans may backfire on the team.
De Villiers said, 'As soon as I saw Kane Williamson's name among the retained players, I thought that Gujarat has a great opportunity to give the captaincy opportunity to an experienced player. Because Williamson has done this before, but he handed over this responsibility to Shubman Gill. I am not saying that there is anything wrong in this, but according to me, Shubman should have been given a chance to learn a little this time, so that he would be fully prepared for captaincy in the year 2025. However, I am excited to see Shubman Gill captaining.
Let us also tell you that former Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya has now separated from the team. Before the upcoming season, Mumbai Indians have bought Hardik Pandya from Gujarat Titans through trade. Also know that Gujarat team had three options as captain. Apart from Gill and Kane Williamson, he could have also chosen Rashid Khan as captain, but he thought it best to bet on a young Indian player only.
