SHUBMAN GILL from India (Photo by Clive Mason/Getty Images) India may have ended 4th day of the fourth test on the back leg, but Dinesh Karthik believes that SHUBMAN GILL shows the kind of leadership that can turn adversity into heritage. When England pushed hard to win, Gill and Kl Rahul stood firmly and led India to 174 in 2 after the highest order collapse left them 1 for 2 at lunch. During the broadcast, Karthik pulled a strong comparison between Gill’s knock and iconic 156 to Old Trafford in Ashes in 2005. “Yesterday we showed the Ponting post in the Ashes series. He said it was his best hundreds. According to Karthic, such an inspiration is what Gill will need. “He’s on the same way. He’s a new leader, he has just been named Captain India. He showed what he could do with the bat,” he said.

Gill’s undefeated 78 got under pressure from the Indian dramatic collapse on the morning session, with Chris Woakes leading two goals in two balls. But the way the 24 -year -old man responded to Karthik’s certainty that Gill has the characteristics to lead in difficult moments. “There is another opportunity for him to succeed as a leader. Come at a difficult moment, there will be for the team. There will be so many players in the dressing room. The belief is that he is a warrior for us,” Karthik added.
