Meanwhile, Shubman Gill mentioned that he has learned a lot from playing under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy and has also gained leadership qualities from several other Indian legends, like Dhoni. Now, Gill is aiming to become a permanent player in all three formats for his country.

I really enjoy playing under Rohit Sharma: Shubman Gill

Gill was quoted as saying by the ICC: “You can take qualities from Rohit bhai or even Mahi (MS Dhoni) bhai, Virat bhai, Hardik (Pandya) bhai, all of them. All of them have great qualities. I have played the most under Rohit Bhai, so he is someone who I look up to and really enjoy playing under.”

The young Indian captain also hailed his team for their performance in the T20I series in Zimbabwe, saying: “It shows that everyone is hungry and nobody is ready to take it easy. It is a good thing for us. Anyone who got the opportunity grabbed it with both hands.”

At the end, Gill mentioned that from the openers to bowlers to allrounders to spinners, everyone made a mark, and he is confident that the national selectors have now seen everything, and it is up to them to name the squad for the next T20I and ODI series in Sri Lanka.
