New Delhi: On June 20 Shubman Gill will take over the captaincy of the Indian team for the first time in Test cricket. The Indian team is currently on a tour of England where it has to play the first match of the series at Leeds. After Rohit Sharmas retirement from Test cricket the selectors had decided to make Shubman Gill the next captain in this format.
Now all eyes are on Shubman Gills performance as to how he will perform as a captain and batsman in the upcoming Test series against England. At the same time the statement of the great batsman Sachin Tendulkar has also come out on this in which he has given important advice to Gill that he will have to try to keep himself away from outside noise.
Shubman Gill is a talented player:
Shubman is a talented player and very very eager to go out and compete hard and bring laurels to the nation. I have faith in him. Whatever I have seen I have interacted a bit with him. He is a good student of the game and whatever I have seen him in IPL T20 leading Gujarat (Titans) he has been impressive Tendulkar said.
No need to pay attention to external noise:
Sachin Tendulkar further said in his statement that Shubman Gill does not need to pay attention to external noise as a captain. People will keep giving their opinions but in the end what matters is what is the atmosphere in the dressing room and what decisions are taken in the interest of the team nothing else. Regarding the situation in England Sachin also advised the batsmen of Team India that they will have to make a strategy according to the conditions because you cannot play here like my game is like this and I will play like this. The batsmen will have to show some patience.
I am hoping that Shubman does something really special on this tour and owns that number Tendulkar said.
