Kane Williamson praised a young Indian superstar, referring to him as a world-class player

Kane Williamson, the Gujarat Titans batter, will make his return to the Indian Premier League when the 17th season commences on Friday. The Titans clinched the championship in 2022 under the leadership of Hardik Pandya and were runners-up in 2023. Shubman Gill will take over as captain for IPL 2024, while Pandya has returned to the Mumbai Indians. Williamson praised the new skipper, Gill, for his extensive cricket knowledge and fielding prowess.

Williamson praised the player, describing him as world-class with a brilliant cricketing mind. Williamson expressed excitement about reuniting with the player and collaborating with him during the upcoming IPL season:

”I have spent much time with him in the previous seasons. It would be great to assist him in whatever decisions he takes for the team. He backs himself, and I am sure the squad will also support him.”

The Kiwi batsman commended the team's support staff, noting their wealth of experience and cricketing knowledge that guides the team. He found the environment to be both exciting and pleasant for Shubman to begin his captaincy.
