Delhi: Star batsman Shubman Gill’s Test captaincy career has started with a necklace. In the Leeds Test against England, the Indian team stood at the threshold of victory, but failed to take weak fielding and continuous wickets, the guests became the cause of defeat. Now the second Test of the series will be played in Birmingham from July 2. Meanwhile, former head coach of Team India Ravi Shastri has given a big statement about Shubman Gill. He said that Gill should be given at least three years to prove himself as captain.

In a conversation with Wisden, Ravi Shastri said, “If Shubman Gill does not reach further, I will be very disappointed. When he batting, his style is very attractive, a little slow, a little slow, a little royal, but very impressive. If he learns from the experience and molds himself according to the situation, I am sure that he will travel a long journey.”

Shastri also said that Gill should be fully supported for three years, because he has the ability to live up to expectations.

Although the Indian team lost the first Test against England, Shubman Gill made a good improvement in his personal performance. In the first Test innings as captain, he scored a brilliant 147 runs in a state of pressure.

However, KL Rahul appeared while setting the fielding on the last day of the Leeds Test, which is clear that Gill is currently in the process of learning from senior players of the team.
