It\u2019s still early days for Shubman Gill as India\u2019s Test captain<\/a>. The 25-year-old right-handed batter took over the role from Rohit Sharma following his retirement from the Test format. While Gill has shown promising signs of leadership, he is still finding his footing at the helm. The fiery moments of the Lord\u2019s Test against England revealed a passionate side when Gill lost his cool and snapped at Zak Crawley for deliberately wasting time. The stump mic captured Gill telling Crawley to \u201cgrow some f***g b<\/strong><\/em>s,\u201d which sparked verbal exchanges from the England camp as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As India trails 1-2 in the intense Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Gill has been advised to adopt a key aspect of captaincy exemplified by MS Dhoni: strong man-management skills. Former South Africa opening batter and India coach during the 2011 World Cup, Gary Kirsten, who also worked closely with Gill at Gujarat Titans from 2022-2024, stressed that great leadership requires mastering various elements, especially managing people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Captaincy is a whole lot of things you\u2019ve got to put together. He\u2019s a great thinker and player, but man-management is crucial for any leader<\/a>,”<\/em> Kirsten said in an interview with Rediff.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added, “Dhoni was an incredible man-manager. If Gill can develop that component of his leadership, he has all the credentials to become a great captain for India.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shubman Gill made a spectacular start to his captaincy in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy by scoring a century\u2014147 runs\u2014in his very first innings as India\u2019s Test captain during the Headingley Test. He then went on to deliver a phenomenal performance in the Edgbaston Test, smashing 269 and 161, which helped India level the five-match series at 1-1 with a massive 430-run aggregate in that match alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Gill struggled in the following Lord\u2019s Test, where England\u2019s bowlers found ways to unsettle him early and dismissed him cheaply<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two teams will next clash in the Manchester Test, scheduled to begin on Wednesday, July 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
