‘Captaincy Pitch’ Boldly Made by Shubman Gill for Gautam Gambhir, BCCI Following Zimbabwe Series

Shubman Gill made it apparent that captaincy brings out the best in him, even as a batsman.

Shubman Gill believes that captaincy “brings out the best in him” after leading India to a 4-1 series victory against Zimbabwe, as he discovered a side of himself that he appreciated on the field. Gill, who nearly missed out on the T20 World Cup, was one of India’s star performances in their 4-1 series victory over Zimbabwe, which ended in Harare on Sunday. As opener and captain, the right-hander scored a series-high 170 runs at an average of 42.50, excelling in both positions.

Gill’s first time captaining India at the senior level was during the Zimbabwe series, and the 24-year-old said he relished the experience. As the search for Rohit’s replacement as captain continues, Gill’s leadership will be considered ahead of India’s white-ball series in Sri Lanka later this month and three home matches against Bangladesh later in the year.

“It is something I absolutely enjoy. I believe that being out there brings out the best in me because I want to participate in the game. “It brings out a side of me that I enjoy being on the field,” Gill said of captaincy.

“There was pressure, not extra pressure, but clearly, even when you are just a batter and don’t perform, there is a certain amount of pressure that comes with it.
“But I think that’s the fun part. You sense a wide range of emotions. One of these is pressure. And when you’re done, the sense of accomplishment is great,” he continued.

Gill went on to say that he gained a lot from playing under Rohit in recent years, but he also picked up leadership skills from a slew of other India players as he strives to become a permanent fixture in all three formats for his country.

“You can learn from Rohit bhai as well as Mahi (MS Dhoni) bhai, Virat bhai, Hardik (Pandya) bhai, and everyone else. They all has excellent qualities. “I’ve played the most under Rohit bhai, so he’s someone I look up to and enjoy playing for,” added Gill.

Gill was not the only Indian batter to play well against Zimbabwe, with fellow young guns Yashasvi Jaiswal (141 runs), Ruturaj Gaikwad (133), and Abhishek Sharma (124) also scoring more than 50 runs during the series.

He thinks the current T20 World Cup champions will be much bolstered by the competition for selection among the upcoming crop of top-order hitters.

“The fact that everyone is performing is a wonderful thing. It demonstrates that nobody is prepared to relax and that everyone is hungry. That’s usually a positive thing for any board or nation. “Anyone who had the opportunity seized it with both hands. Everyone made an impact, from openers to bowlers to allrounders to spinners, and I believe the selectors have seen everything, so it is up to them to name the side for the next series (in Sri Lanka),” he said.
