Mumbai, April 4: Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra backed captain Shubman Gill for the long-term leadership role of the franchise. The No. 1 ranked ODI batter is leading the franchise in the second straight IPL season following the departure of former captain Hardik Pandya before the start of the last edition. Under Pandya's captaincy, Gujarat won the title in their inaugural appearance in the 2022 season.

"From all the conversations I've had with Shubman Gill over the past year, I believe a person learns best from their own experiences. So, this year, things will only get better and better. Again, for me, it슬롯사이트s not just about results. I슬롯사이트m looking at Shubman Gill as a person, as a captain, and as someone who will take this team forward.

"If a player like Shubman, who has been part of the same team for three to four years, stays grounded, keeps learning from the game, and continues to grow슬롯사이트which is in his nature - then the sky is the limit for him. This is what I believe," Nehra said on JioHotstar슬롯사이트s show 슬롯사이트Aava De슬롯사이트�.

Speaking about his coaching philosophy, Nehra emphasised the need for stability in a fast-paced tournament like the IPL. "For me, I don슬롯사이트t see things only from a coach슬롯사이트s perspective. Even if I put myself in the shoes of a player in such an environment - the hectic IPL, a long yet fast-paced tournament - the first thing players need is stability. That슬롯사이트s how I feel. My approach is to just let them be; nobody is judging them here. First, they need to settle down, especially when they join a new franchise," he said.

"The nature of the sport is such that you retain four to five players, and in the auction, you might get one or two key additions. So, after every three years, 40-50% of the squad is new. That means you have to put in extra effort to build the team again, just like the situation we are in now.

"There슬롯사이트s no bio-bubble anymore. If there was one, it would have been easier. But in Ahmedabad, it슬롯사이트s good that people don슬롯사이트t go out much, so in a way, it still feels like a bubble. The challenge is - how do you spend time and build chemistry with new players in just a week? It슬롯사이트s about clarity - on the field and off the field. Just the basic things. I don슬롯사이트t think there슬롯사이트s any rocket science to it. I always say, keep it simple. It슬롯사이트s a very straightforward task - but maybe, keeping it simple isn슬롯사이트t always that simple," the former India pacer added.

Nehra also highlighted the importance of a strong mindset for bowlers in T20 cricket, emphasising their role beyond just containing runs.

"For bowlers, many tend to go along with the common mindset that in T20 cricket, getting hit is okay. We understand that it happens - but in what way? On some days, you might concede 60-70 runs in four overs, or even 70 in three. But you also have to think the other way around - that in four overs, you can take two or three wickets while conceding 20-24 runs. You can슬롯사이트t just focus on one side of the equation," he said.

The veteran cricketer further lauded pacers Mohammed Siraj, Kagiso Rabada and Prasidh Krishna for their strong mindset.

"Once a bowler falls into a negative mindset, it becomes difficult to recover. We understand the playing conditions. The mindset of the dressing room and the spectators are different, but what truly drives the team is how the players think inside the dressing room. That positivity is crucial for bowlers.

"Sometimes, the batsman will win; other times, the bowler will. If you have a bad season, the batsman might dominate more often. But if you have a good season - like the two years Mohammed Shami played here, or when Hardik Pandya bowled under lights - it can feel like playing at Headingley, even on the same Ahmedabad pitch," Nehra explained.
