Ahead of his team's campaign opening clash against Mumbai Indians (MI), the newly-appointed captain, Shubman Gill, reminisced on his journey from sneaking into stadiums to watch Indian Premier League (IPL) matches during league's early days to finally captaining a team and also spoke on which iconic stars will be his guiding figures as a leader.

Last year's runners-up, the Gujarat Titans (GT) and five-time champions, the Mumbai Indians (MI), will square off against each other in a mouth-watering IPL 2024 campaign opening clash on Sunday at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium. The fixture has gained a lot of hype because of star all-rounder Hardik Pandya's move from to his former team, MI, last year, following two great seasons with GT. Shubman Gill has taken over the captaincy of GT. MI will, on the other hand, be led by Pandya, who has replaced the five-time IPL-winning skipper, Rohit Sharma.
