India&rsquo;s Test and ODI captain <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/ipl-2026-gujarat-titans-skipper-shubman-gill-speaks-expresses-his-views-on-impact-player-rule-23622781" rel="nofollow">Shubman Gill</a> insists he has nothing to prove personally, as he leads Gujarat Titans in the upcoming IPL, on the back of a T20 World Cup snub.&nbsp;
&ldquo;If you look at the past three or four seasons, I have the most runs in the IPL. So, I don&rsquo;t think I have anything to prove this season,&rdquo; Gill said during GT&rsquo;s pre-season media interaction at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium on Thursday.&nbsp;
&ldquo;I am not someone who focuses too much on personal goals. In the last four years that I&rsquo;ve played for this team, I think we have done decently well as a unit. And I think I have done decently well as a batsman. So, I don&rsquo;t think I need to prove my worth to anyone,&rdquo; said Gill when asked if he had a point to prove after the World Cup snub.&nbsp;
Speaking about <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/photo/ipl-2026-mohammed-siraj-washington-sundar-and-other-players-gear-up-ahead-of-season-110311/5" rel="nofollow">GT</a>&rsquo;s upcoming season, he said: &ldquo;As a team, we need to be consistent, which I think we have been. If we continue doing that, sooner or later, we&rsquo;ll win the trophy again. Meanwhile, with many fans and experts talking about the possibility of a 300 total, GT coach Ashish Nehra said he hopes that doesn&rsquo;t happen. &ldquo;I hope not,&rdquo; he said, admitting though that the fans come to watch batsmen in the shortest version of the game. &ldquo;It has always been a batsman&rsquo;s game. People want to see 240, 250, but if you ask me, that&rsquo;s not good for the game. Even if you ask the captain, he [Gill] is an opener, keep captaincy aside. It&rsquo;s not that easy, even on a flat surface. So, when people think that it&rsquo;s evolving, I don&rsquo;t think so. Same sticks, same ball and same pitch length,&rdquo; Nehra concluded.
