IPL 2025: Gill Used His Brains A Lot More Than Other Guys At U16 Level, Says Kapoor
Arun Jaitley Stadium: Since the time Rohit Sharma quit Test cricket earlier this month, the chatter has been constantly focused on who will succeed him as the next Test skipper. Though names of Jasprit Bumrah and KL Rahul emerge quickly in the mind, Shubman Gill is believed to be front-runner in the race to be India’s next Test captain.
In the last 12 months, Gill’s tryst with leadership roles has been immense – he was made Gujarat Titans’ skipper once Hardik Pandya moved back to Mumbai Indians. Though GT failed to enter knockouts, the Indian team saw a spark in Gill’s leadership skills – making him the skipper on T20I tour of Zimbabwe last year and elevating him to be the ODI vice-captain.
After Gill slammed 93 not out and shared an unbroken 205-run stand with B Sai Sudharsan to help GT thrash Delhi Capitals by ten wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, assistant coach Aashish Kapoor said the right-handed batter is someone who always used his brain more than his peers, based on his observations of him at the U16 level.
