With Shubman Gill‘s recent efforts in red-ball cricket, former Indian captain Anil Kumble has been very complimentary of the player. Following his appointment as the full-time Test captain, Gill has been playing brilliantly both on the pitch and at bat.
Kumble praised Shubman Gill batting, which has only gotten better in the red-ball format since he was given the reins of leadership. On Day 2 of the second Test match against the West Indies in Delhi, the seasoned leg-spinner also gave Shubman Gill high marks for his batting performance.
Leading India is never simple. It involves not only making decisions on the pitch but also managing a number of off-field duties, and Shubman Gill has performed quite well in both areas. He’s been excellent on the pitch, and since assuming the skipper, he’s been a really calm batter. And today was no exception. Kumble stated through JioHotstar, “He read the situation perfectly, attacked the spinners when necessary, and maintained the scoring rate.”
Scores are crucial for a young captain. The captaincy is typically passed down to seasoned players after years of success, but Shubman Gill early rise and outstanding performance show a high level of maturity and portend well for India’s future,” he continued.
Former West Indies batsman Daren Ganga agreed with Kumble regarding Gill’s autonomy as both a batter and a leader.
Ganga shared that Shubman Gill would continue to lead Indian cricket for many years to come, in his opinion.
It encapsulates his character, disposition, and capacity to make his begins. This year, his conversion rate has been remarkable. He has done an amazing job of juggling the additional responsibilities of being captain and being a batter. He is enjoying the benefits of not allowing one to impede the other. It’s all his fault. With his strong leadership and assured batting, Shubman Gill is destined to lead Indian cricket for many years to come, he remarked.
It was an unprecedented performance for Gill and the team as India drew their first series against England under Gill’s captaincy. He broke multiple records to become the top run scorer after scoring 754 runs in five games. With an undefeated 129-run knock off 196 balls in his team’s opening innings of the New Delhi Test, the 26-year-old carried over his form into the home series against the West Indies.
