Delhi: Former Australia captain Greg Chapel believes that in the series against England, Shubman Gill has shown a glimpse of his leadership ability by batting well, but now his real test will start. India is currently trailing 2–1 in the five-match Test series. The fourth match of the series will be played in Old Trefferd in Manchester from July 23.
He said, “Gill has performed brilliantly as a talented batsman and has also given a glimpse of leadership, but now he will have a real test. This is the opportunity that will decide in which direction he will move as a Test captain.”
Gill decide the criteria for the team
Chappell believes that Gill will have to fix rules for the team with his performance. He said, “The captain sets the atmosphere within the team not only by his words, but through his performance and principles. Gill will have to show what kind of team they want to make India.”
Discipline in fielding is necessary
Chappell also expressed concern about the fielding of the Indian team. He said, “The team will have to be disciplined on the field. India cannot become a team with bad fielding again. The best teams are agile in the field, do not give runs easily and do not lose opportunities.”
Show firmness in team selection
Greg advised Shubman Gill to keep clear thinking in team selection as well. He said, “The captain and the selectors who trust the players should form a main group. Gill will have to maintain trust with the players with whom they can win the match. Gill will have to make his plan clear and every player should know what is being expected from him.”
Gill has a golden opportunity to prove himself
Chappell said that Gill has a golden opportunity to prove himself as not only the batsman but also as a successful Test captain. He wrote, “If Gill leads with clear thinking and strong intentions, you can not only change the attitude of this series, but can also decide the direction of the future of Indian cricket.”
