Shubman Gill had the passion to become captain from the beginning: New Zealand’s veteran batsman praised the Indian captain.

Delhi: New Zealand veteran batsman Kane Williamson has recently praised Indian young batsman Shubman Gill. He told that he had realized long ago that Gill has the skill of captaincy. Williamson said that Gill is more intelligent than the age and he is impressing everyone with his decisions on the field.

Gill gets command of Test team in place of Rohit Sharma

After Rohit Sharma’s retirement from Test cricket, Gill has been given the command of the Indian Test team. Although India is lagging behind 1-2 in this series at the beginning of the captaincy, Gill’s decisions and his quiet nature have impressed many veterans.

Difference between franchise and international captaincy

Williamson said, “The burden of captaincy has a good impact on Shubman. Franchise is a difference between cricket and the captaincy of the country but Gill is proving himself to be both.” He further said that Gill is fulfilling this responsibility well and this is the beginning.

Gill is also doing amazing batting

Gill is in great form since becoming captain. He has scored 607 runs in three matches so far and is the highest run -scorer of this series. In the first Test, he played a brilliant innings of 147 runs in Handingley, Leeds.

History in Birmingham Test

In the second Test, Gill scored 269 and 161 runs in two innings in Edgbaston, Birmingham. With this performance, he made a record of making the second highest match in Test match Yoga (430 runs). He was also selected ‘Player of the Match’ for this great performance and India won the match by 336 runs.

Performance fell in Lord’s Test

In the third Test, Gill could not retain the rhythm on the grounds of Lord’s and could score only 22 runs in two innings. For this reason, India lost this test and fell back 1-2 in the series. Now Gill is ready to return the team in the fourth Test to be held in Manchester and play a big innings.

Ken Williamson has expectations from Gill

Williamson said, “He is a world-class batsman. The way he has scored in the difficult situations of England, he is capable.
