Gautam Gambhir on Shubman Gill Captaincy: Shubman Gill, the newly appointed captain of Team India, has received great support from head coach Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir once again clearly said that he stands strongly behind Shubhman Gill. He said that as long as Gill continues to take right decisions and work honestly for the team, he will fully support him, no matter how much criticism there is.
Gill has proved himself – Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir said, when Gill was made the Test captain before the England tour this year, a lot of questions were raised on him. But this 25-year-old young player answered all the critics and scored 754 runs in England and gave India a 2-2 draw. He said, ‘When I spoke to Shubman for the first time, I clearly said, we have thrown you in deep water, now you will either drown or become a world-class swimmer and he proved that he can swim.’
Shubman Gill’s leadership is amazing- Gautam Gambhir
Gambhir said that Shubman’s attitude, patience and leadership in the England series were most praiseworthy. He said, ‘He never showed anger for the entire two months, nor did he show any kind of pressure on his face. He led the team with a smile. This is real leadership. Gill also scored his fifth century as captain this year and equaled the record of Virat Kohli i.e. the player who scored the most centuries as an Indian Test captain in a calendar year.
Shubman Gill now ODI captain
After the Test team, Shubman Gill has now been given the command of the ODI team. They will start with the three-match ODI series against Australia in October. This move is being seen as Team India’s preparation for the 2027 World Cup.
I will bear it, not Gill – Gautam Gambhir
Gambhir said, ‘My job is to remove pressure from the captain. If anyone wants to criticize, criticize me. As long as Shubman keeps doing the right things for the team honestly, I will take every criticism for him. He further said, ‘Gill has captained in only 6 Tests, but the maturity he has shown is fantastic. They are still learning, but if they remain honest and transparent, no one can stop them.
Shubman Gill’s record
This year Shubman Gill has performed brilliantly in Test cricket. He has registered his name as India’s top run-scorer by scoring 966 runs so far. Gill’s bat was seen on fire during the England tour, where he scored 4 centuries and 1 double century. Even as captain, Gill has performed his responsibilities well.
