Gill Not Being A Stop-gap Test Captaincy Option Will Give Him A Lot Of Confidence, Says WV Raman
Sony Sports Network: Come June 20, and the sight of Shubman Gill donning the India blazer and walking out for the toss in the series opener against England at Headingley will make for a significant visual. The retirement of key players like Kohli and Sharma ushers in a new era for India’s Test team, with Gill taking center stage as the new captain.
Apart from navigating the leadership side of things, there will be high expectations from Gill to assert his authority as a match-winner with the bat too, considering his overseas Test record doesn’t make for a mighty impressive read.
Having witnessed Gill’s potential firsthand as the India U19 head coach on tour of England in 2017, former India cricketer WV Raman believes that the right-handed batter not being seen as a stop-gap Test captain pick will allow him to excel in both his roles as batter and captain.
