If leading from the front had to be captured in one moment! πPrasidh Krishna nails the short ball, and Shubman Gill pulls off a stunning catch to dismiss Kamindu Mendis! π«΄π₯
Shubman Gill spotted his bowling and urged him to leave tennis-ball cricket behind.
The team's top management and leadership group have reportedly decided that it does not want to look beyond Gill at this stage. If another player, even Pandya, joins the team in the future, that can be discussed separately, but the captaincy is already locked to Gill.
Shubman Gill has been performing really well. KL Rahul, Yashasvi JaiswalβI can name many. Even though Virat and Rohit are not there, India still have a powerhouse of talent. They have so many good, upcoming cricketers, eager to perform and waiting for their opportunities. Iβm sure Shubman Gill will be the key, especially in the first Test in Galle. He has the temperament. Once he gets going, it is very difficult to get him out. Iβve seen him bat, and he is a brilliant player. He is the best I have seen in India over the last few years.
