Shubman Gill revealed that he was told to not hesitate and be open with his inputs on the field whenever he feels like. The stylish right-hander, who is being touted as India’s next white-ball captain, has been appointed as the vice-captain of the side for the ongoing ODI series against England and also the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Post his struggles in Australia with the red ball, Shubman Gill roared back to form with a fluent 87 off 96 balls to guide India to a comfortable four-wicket win over England in the first ODI in Nagpur on Thursday.
With age not in Rohit Sharma’s side, the 25-year-old Shubman Gill is believed to be prepared to be India’s next white-ball captain. Asked about his role after being elevated to India’s vice-captain, Shubman Gill revealed his plans on the field and how he wants to operate.
“On the field I want to know what the thinking is and what Rohit bhai thinks and give my inputs. He tells me if you want to tell me anything in the match, do not hesitate,” Shubman Gill told broadcasters post-match.
