SHUBMAN GILL (Getty Images) Before India went to the first test against England in Headingley, SHUBMAN GILL said, “I see myself as a dough first. My first goal is to become the highest running shooter of the series.” In his thought process, Gill is very clear. He became the fifth Indian who scored the century on the Indian Captain’s debut. With running on the album, he felt that the start of a young man into the leadership of soldiers would be smooth. But over the next four days, things did not come out exactly as it should, and India is now in a series of 0-1 down. While the burden of the captain did not affect SHUBMAN dough, it is clear that in the field, his leadership abilities are still unfinished. It is still early days, but there is no doubt that in the leadership in England there will be a steep learning curve for a 25 -year -old, who is the fifth youngest Indian cricket that will become the captain of the test. It is not easy that the opposition batsman is as strong as England and the playground is not a friendly pitch. If it was a subcontinental dust bowl, Gill could find things a little easier, but the first test in Leeds suggested that this tour would be a fire for him. “These are the heavy places that lead to this, and it’s like pushing someone into the deep sea. In the first shifts, he fired well and learned about the work, coach Gautam Gambhir said.”

Do you think SHUBMAN GILL has the potential to become a successful test captain for India?
While the coach has all the reasons to throw his weight for Gill, there were several raised eyebrows with the use of the Allrounder Shadul Thakur. In the first shifts, when England detonated 101 overs, Shardul, who played like bowling allrounder, got only six overs, also after it came quite late. It left the impression that Skubman lacks confidence in Shardule, not necessarily a positive sign.

The former Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said on his YouTube channel that to get the best of Shardule, it was important that he came into a bowl within the first 40 overs. “Shardul is a good cricket and has a decent match with Joe Root. When you play in England, the ball sometimes stops doing anything after the first 40 overs. Gill’s body language in the field had the air of assurance. He did not look too exaggerated, showing that his leadership with Gujarat Titans in IPL helped. He does not have exactly aggressive aggression Vira Kohli, nor does his face betray emotions, as was the case with Rohit Sharma. In many ways, Gill is his own husband, and as things were approaching on day 5, he didn’t lose his smile and didn’t allow the shoulders to continue. Fifth in the morning, when India had to be aggressive, could be a little criticism about his placement in the field. The handful of Cordon’s slip was a very clear indication that he went on the defensive, which probably gave a little mental edges to the English openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley.

There were several edges from Duckett’s bats that went to the gaps behind the goal, which could be prevented. In the second half of the first shifts, when Chris Woakes and Brydon Cars were cheerful, Gill delayed the re -introduction of Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja, which cost India about 50 running. This section of the game showed a little immaturity in Gill’s captain, but then it cannot be forgotten that the captain cannot Bumhrah to the ground. It is not easy for the captain that bowling does not shoot precisely and in XI there is a problem with a single X-Factor pitch. In a situation like this, Gill must take some courageous decisions for the future, which could begin with the inclusion of Kuldeep Yadava to play XI. Tiger Pataudi, the journey back in 1967 in England, decided to play four spinners in XI – a decision that subsequently made India a very difficult team to defeat at home. In 2018, it was a range of Virat Kohli to play with four Pacers, another call that helped the team to rule a red ball cricket in a short phase. In the situation of Crunch, such a radical call becomes a necessity and it is necessary to see if Captain Gill is courageous enough to reduce the batsman and in the second test from July 2.
