Shubman Gill, one of the most complete batters in world cricket, has been a crucial member of the Indian team since his debut five years ago. The 24-year-old’s batting prowess is well known, but his potential as a captain and his ability to handle pressure have also earned widespread acclaim. Currently leading the IPL franchise Gujarat Titans, Gill recently showcased his leadership skills by guiding a young Indian team to a 4-1 victory in the T20I series against Zimbabwe.
Gill’s impressive performance has led to his appointment as the vice-captain of the Indian cricket team for the upcoming tour to Sri Lanka, where India will play three T20Is and three ODIs.
Former India batting coach Vikram Rathour believes that Shubman Gill has the potential to lead the Indian team across all formats in the future. “Whatever I have seen him, be it for the Gujarat Titans or in Zimbabwe, he did a good job. He has shown terrific body language, which is a must if you are leading a side. Now with the vice-captaincy, the BCCI has given him extra responsibility and I am sure he will thrive in this role,” Rathour told The Indian Express.
“I feel captaincy brought the best out of Virat and Rohit, and I feel it will do the same for Shubman. Although he is not yet the captain, being in the leadership group will bring the best out of him as well. This, I am very sure of. When you are in that role, leading others, it gives you that extra bit of responsibility, which is good and I think is great for a young kid like Shubman, who one day might lead India in all three formats,” added Rathour.
With his skill, composure, and leadership qualities, Shubman Gill appears destined for greatness, not just as a batsman but also as a future captain of the Indian cricket team.
