BCCI’s decision to name Shubman Gill as India’s Test captain after Rohit Sharma raised quite a few eyebrows. However, the young batter from Punjab accepted the responsibility with both hands and even delivered decently in the ongoing Test series against England. Gill is currently the top scorer of the series, amassing 607 runs in just three matches. Moreover, he led the team to a first-ever victory at Edgbaston. But overall, he seems to be under a bit of pressure as the team trails 2-1 in the 5-match series. Former South Africa cricketer and ex-India coach Gary Kirsten has praised Gill’s early signs as captain and advised him to become a great man-manager like MS Dhoni. “Well, it’s early days. I think he’s got great potential. Captaincy is a whole lot of things that you’ve got to put together. He’s a great thinker in the game. He’s a good player himself. But there’s a whole bunch of things you’ve got to get right,” Kirsten told Rediff.com. “And I think man management is going to play, like any leader. Dhoni was an incredible man-manager. If he can get that component of his leadership really fired up, I think he has all the credentials to become a great captain for India.” Gill began the series with 147 at Headingley, followed by 269 and 161 in the two innings at Edgbaston. His total of 430 runs in a single Test is the second-highest match aggregate in Test history. He also won the Player of the Match award in India’s 336-run win in Birmingham. However, he struggled in the third Test at Lord’s, scoring just 22 runs across two innings, and India lost the match. Gill will now look to return to form in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, Manchester, and help India level the series.
