Ravi Shastri thinks Shubman Gill will become a great captain. The former coach loves how Gill bats and leads players. Shastri wants India to stick with Gill for many years.
Ravi Shastri praised Gill’s smooth batting style in recent interviews. He called Gill’s batting “lazy elegance” because it looks so easy. Shastri believes Gill plays cricket like a true king.
“I’ll be disappointed if Gill doesn’t go places. Languid, lazy elegance, and he’s got a regal element of being regal out there when he’s batting. If he can learn with exposure and adapt to conditions, I think that’s the one name I can see,” Ravi said.
Shastri Backs New Captain
The former coach wants India to give Gill three years. He thinks changing captains too quickly hurts the team badly. Shastri says Gill needs time to grow into his new role.
“Let him be there for three years. Don’t chop and change irrespective of what happens in the series. Stick with him for three years, and I think he will deliver for you,” he added.
Many cricket experts change their minds about captains too fast. Shastri disagrees with this approach and wants patience instead. He remembers how past captains needed time to succeed properly.
