Greg Chappell believes that Shubman Gill\u2019s true challenge as captain begins now<\/a>. The Indian cricket team is gearing up for the crucial fourth Test of the five-match series against England, set to start on July 23 at Old Trafford, Manchester. This match is a must-win for India if they want to keep their hopes of winning the series alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

England currently lead the series 2-1. They claimed the first Test at Headingley by five wickets. India, under Shubman Gill\u2019s leadership, bounced back strongly in the second Test at Edgbaston with a commanding 336-run victory. However, the hosts fought back to take the third Test at Lord\u2019s by 22 runs, regaining the series lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With England just one win away from sealing the series, India must respond in the fourth Test. Ahead of the game, former Australian cricketer Greg Chappell said that Shubman Gill\u2019s real test as captain starts now, with India trailing 1-2 in the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his latest column for ESPNcricinfo, Greg Chappell emphasized that the upcoming two Test matches will be crucial for Shubman Gill\u2019s journey as India\u2019s Test captain<\/a>. He stressed that Gill must set the right tone for the team as they prepare for these decisive encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs India gear up for the final two Tests in their England series, all eyes are on their 25-year-old captain, Shubman Gill. A talented young batsman who has already displayed flashes of leadership, this is the defining moment that will shape his path as a Test captain,\u201d Chappell wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chappell highlighted the challenges Gill faces, noting, \u201cIt\u2019s not an easy environment to grow in, but it\u2019s the one he finds himself in \u2014 with stakes at their highest. Shubman Gill must establish the identity of his team. A captain leads not just through words, but through actions, clear purpose, and setting visible standards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He went on to underline the importance of discipline, especially in the field. \u201cIndia cannot afford to revert to a weak fielding side. The best teams excel in the field, deny easy runs, and rarely drop chances,\u201d Chappell added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Chappell urged Shubman Gill<\/a> to assert his authority as captain, saying, \u201cIf Shubman Gill wants to become a great Test captain, this is his chance to command respect \u2014 not only with the bat but through his leadership. He must set high standards, expect others to meet them, select his team confidently, support his players, and hold everyone accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shubman Gill recent performances back this up: his double century and century in the second Test at Edgbaston helped India secure a vital win. With 607 runs across three matches, he currently leads the run charts in the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, India face the challenge of winning at Old Trafford, Manchester, where they have yet to claim a Test victory against England. Out of nine Tests at this venue, England has won four, while five ended in draws. India will be aiming to make history by securing a breakthrough win in the fourth Test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
