IPL 2022: Rashid Khan appointed Gujarat Titans’ vice-captain
Gujarat Titans (GT) are set to make their debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Monday (March 28) against another debutant Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Ahead of the opening game, the franchise has announced leg-spinner Rashid Khan as their vice-captain.
Rashid is not new to leadership roles, having led Afghanistan in a few matches at the international level. He was picked by the Titans ahead of the mega auction for a whopping amount of INR 15 crore and will be keen on providing his inputs to Hardik Pandya during the season.
Gujarat Titans made an official announcement on their Instagram handle and posted an adorable picture of Hardik and Rashid having a laugh together. “In yet another #SeasonOfFirsts, Rashid bhai becomes our vice-captain,” the caption of the post read.
