Tiwari also said that as a captain, Gill should lead the team, but excessive aggression ends energy. He suggested that aggression can be shown not just by speaking, but also by winning the match.
Delhi: Former Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwari believes that Shubman Gill is becoming more aggressive in Test matches. Tiwari says that Gill is probably trying to become an aggressive captain like Virat Kohli, but this attitude is also affecting his batting.
Gill clashed with England players in Lord’s Test
Before the third day of the Lord’s Test, Gill got entangled in the debate with England’s openers Zack Crowley and Ben Docket. Actually Gill felt that England batsmen were deliberately wasting time. However, England benefited from this narrow war and won the match and took a 2–1 lead in the series.
Gill’s bat did not even run
Gill’s performance in this match was also not special. He was dismissed by scoring 16 runs in the first innings and just 6 runs in the second. Tiwari said that such aggression does not suit Gill and it also affects his batting.
Start of change from IPL
Manoj Tiwari said that this change in Gill has been seen since getting the captaincy in the IPL. He said, “Ever since he became the captain of the IPL team, he has started adopting an aggressive attitude. He also argues with the umpires. It is not Gill’s real identity. He does not need to prove himself.”
“You can show aggression without speaking”
Tiwari also said that as a captain, Gill should lead the team, but excessive aggression ends energy. He suggested that aggression can be shown not just by speaking, but also by winning the match.
Advice given to captains
The former cricketer also expressed concern over the language of the players. He said, “I did not like that the words that are heard on the stump mike are not right. You are representing the Indian team. If the captain uses such words, then the coming generation will also learn the same.”
Next match in Manchester from 23 July
The next and important Test match between India and England will be played in Manchester from 23 July. Now it has to be seen whether Gill changes his style or not.
