In the Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans on Tuesday, there will also be an interesting battle between Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill for captaincy. Iyer is one of the successful captains of the IPL. Under his leadership, Kolkata Knight Riders won the title last year. Four years ago in 2020, under his captaincy, Delhi Capitals made it to the finals. Now his goal will be to end the 18 -year waiting for Punjab to win the IPL title. Punjab entered the IPL final in 2014 and entered the 2018 semi -finals, but has failed to make it to the top five in the last four years. Despite becoming Punjab Kings from Kings XI Punjab, the team is still waiting for its first IPL title.

But now Punjab's team is ready to start afresh with the new head coach as the new captain and Ricky Ponting as Iyer. On the other hand, Gill is considered to be the future captain of India. Recently he was appointed as the vice-captain of the Indian ODI team. Hardik Pandya took over the captaincy of Gujarat after joining Mumbai Indians last year, but after that his team finished eighth. Earlier, under the captaincy of Hardik, Gujarat's team was the winner in 2022 and runner -up in 2023.
