Shubman Gill Breaks Kohli's Record as Indian Captain in Test Series
Shubman Gill's Remarkable Performance as Captain
The impact of captaincy seems to be influencing Shubman Gill's performance significantly, reminiscent of the transformation seen in Virat Kohli about 11 years ago. After being appointed captain, Kohli's batting prowess soared, and now Gill is following in his footsteps. In his debut series as captain, Gill has made a remarkable impression, shattering one of Kohli's records. During the second Test match against England at Edgbaston, Gill set a new record for the highest score by an Indian captain.
Before the tour of England, all eyes were on Shubman Gill, who had just been named the captain of Team India. This was particularly noteworthy as his Test record had not been impressive. He had struggled outside Asia, failing to score over 50 runs in the last five years. In fact, during his previous three Test matches in England, he managed only 88 runs. However, in just three innings of this series, Gill has left behind his past struggles and amassed a mountain of runs.
