Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh has praised Shubman Gill's performance as captain in the recent Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in England. Gill led a young Indian side to a 2-2 draw against a strong England team.
Yuvraj highlighted Gill's impressive batting performance, where he emerged as the highest run-scorer despite the added pressure of captaincy. He also commended the contributions of Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, who scored crucial runs in the series.
Yuvraj was particularly impressed with Gill's ability to overcome questions about his overseas record, scoring four Test centuries in the series. He lauded the team's resilience in the absence of experienced players like Virat Kohli
Gill's leadership and batting prowess were instrumental in India's strong showing in the series, leveling the series with a six-run victory in the final Test at The Oval.
““There were a lot of question marks over his overseas record. The guy became the captain and scored four Test hundreds. It's just unbelievable that when you're given responsibility, how you take it,””
