Following the retirement of veteran batsman Rohit Sharma, promising batter Shubman Gill has been appointed as the captain of the Indian team in the longest format of the game for the upcoming Test series against England.
Gill will face an herculean task to guide the Indian team in transition phase in absence of the senior players.
Meanwhile, Gill has opened up about his leadership lessons from senior cricketers like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in a recent interaction.
According to Gill, Kohli was quick to change things if the set plans were not working. In addition, he also mentioned how he clearly explained to the bowlers what he expected from them as well.
"When I played under Virat Bhai, I think his proactiveness in the Test matches on the field or with the ideas or with his thinking was something that I like and I picked up. If he thinks that is okay, this plan is not working, he will immediately have another plan, communicate it with the bowlers on what he wants from them," said Gill.
Reflecting about Rohit's captaincy, Gill said that while Rohit may not have the aggressive stature of Kohli, his tactics were aggressive indeed.
"It can seem that Rohit Bhai is not aggressive, but he can be very aggressive in terms of his tactics. Tactically, he is quite an aggressive captain. He is someone who is very clear with his communication prior to the matches, during the series and even after the series on what he wants from the players," said Gill.
