New Delhi: Gujarat Titans’ (GT) assistant coach Parthiv Patel said Shubman Gill has been fantastic as the side’s captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, adding that one can feel his presence as a leader in the team’s dressing room. Gill, 25, has been the front-runner to succeed the recently retired Rohit Sharma as India’s next Test captain ahead of their five-match tour of England, starting on June 20.
“See, he has been fantastic. I thought the way he has been around with the group, I don’t need to do any kind of mention him. The way he is handling the situation, he is scoring a lot of runs - he has been very good, proactive on the field and off the field also. He spends a lot of time with young players,” said Patel in the pre-match press conference.
“I have said this before also, you can feel like Shubman Gill is the captain in the dressing room, and that’s what you want in a leader, and that’s how he has been. So, I am sure, going forward, whatever the talk is, I think that’s something I can’t comment on. But Shubman Gill as GT captain has been fantastic,” he said. (IANS).
