India's new Test captain Gill falls cheaply in IPL
Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill fell for just 13 runs on Sunday in his first Indian Premier League outing after being named captain of the Indian Test team.
The 25-year-old was named as Rohit Sharma's successor on Saturday, when the selectors announced the team for the five-Test series in England beginning on June 20.
"Feels exciting to be able to have that (Test captaincy) kind of a challenge, it's going to be a really exciting series for us," Gill said at the toss against Chennai Super Kings, his team's last league match.
Gujarat has already made the playoffs of the T20 tournament and are chasing 231 at the world's biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad, the venue for the June 3 final.
With the spotlight on the newly crowned Test leader, Gill hit a four and a six in his nine-ball stay before being caught at slip off medium-pace bowler Anshul Kamboj.
Gill will lead a Test team still coming to terms with the shock retirements of Rohit and Virat Kohli after the two stalwarts walked away from the longer format within six days of each other this month.
