Delhi: Afghanistan veteran spinner Rashid Khan believes that captain Shubman Gill has all the characteristics of becoming a great captain. Rashid, who played under Gill’s captaincy for Gujarat Titans (GT), said that Gill is very calm on the ground and he lands with a strong plan in every match.
The way to understand the game is special
Rashid said during a conversation in ‘Jio Hotstar’ series ‘Jane Gold’ that Shubman is not only a good batsman but also a deep -thinking player. He reads the game well and handles the team as well as the bowlers in the best way.
IPL pressure more than World Cup
According to Rashid, it is not easy to captain such a big league. He said that the pressure of IPL is more than the World Cup. In such a situation, Shubman Gill has a great opportunity to take adventure decisions and prove himself.
Captained experience became beneficial
Rashid further told that when Hardik Pandya was absent for some time in 2022, he got a chance to captain Gujarat Titans. He said that that experience helped him become a better leader and he also used the same learning under the captaincy of Afghanistan’s national team.
Thinking attitude changed
Rashid also said that there has been a lot of change in his mindset in the last four-five years. That experience of captaincy taught him a new way to think, which helped Afghanistan reach the semi -finals in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
IPL makes players stronger
Rashid believes that big tournaments like IPL introduce players with many challenges. This tests the player and emerges as a strong captain and a better player.
Difficult situation for bowlers in T20
In the end, Rashid also said that the challenges for the bowlers in T20 cricket have increased considerably because the batsmen are now taking more risks. In such a situation, the bowlers also have to mold themselves with new strategies.
