    Gill Didn’t Quite Have That On-field Aura Of Rohit And Kohli, Says Nasser Hussain

    Shubman Gill: India’s new Test captain Shubman Gill is under the spotlight after his leadership in the series opener against England came under criticism from former England skipper Nasser Hussain, who said Gill “didn’t quite have the on-field aura” of his predecessors, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

    “I saw someone finding his way,” Hussain said on Sky Sports. “He (Gill) didn’t quite have that on-field aura of Rohit and Kohli. I thought he followed the ball a lot and was reactive rather than proactive. When Rohit and Kohli captained, you looked down and immediately knew who was in charge. In this game, I saw two or three captains — captaincy by committee.”

    Gill’s first Test as skipper ended in disappointment as India slumped to a five-wicket defeat at Headingley despite a dominant start and five individual centuries across both innings. England, fueled by Ben Duckett’s electrifying 149 and composed efforts from Joe Root (53 not out) and debutant Jamie Smith (44 not out), chased down 371 in the fourth innings — their second-highest successful run chase in Test history, and the highest ever against India.
