Reasons why Shubman Gill can be team India’s next captain

Consistency

Gill has demonstrated remarkable consistency and adaptability across formats. His solid temperament and ability to perform under pressure make him a reliable player. These qualities are vital for a captain who needs to lead by example.

Cementing No.3 position

Shubman Gill has batted at various positions, but number 3 is where many legends have cemented their legacy. Gill needs to make this spot his own. Firstly, the number 3 position requires a blend of technique and temperament, which Gill has shown glimpses of.

However, consistency is key. By performing well in IND vs BAN 1st Test, Shubman Gill has silenced critics and also showed that he belongs at No.3 position especially in Test format. In the limited over formats, Gill can also replace for the number 3 batting spot.

Leadership Experience

Gill has already been appointed as the captain of the Gujarat Titans for IPL 2024. Leading an IPL team can help him develop crucial leadership skills, such as strategic thinking and handling pressure, which are essential for captaining the national team.
