Head coach Gautam Gambhir expressed unwavering support for Test captain Shubman Gill, praising the 25-year-old's exceptional composure during India's challenging England tour. Gambhir recalled telling Gill he was being thrown into "deep sea" when appointed captain, but the youngster responded brilliantly, scoring 754 runs including four centuries. Despite facing unfair criticism about his appointment, Gill demonstrated remarkable leadership through the intense five-Test series that ended 2-2. Gambhir emphasized he would absorb all criticism for Gill as long as the captain remains transparent and honest. Now elevated to ODI captaincy replacing Rohit Sharma, Gill has scored 966 Test runs this year, leading India's charts while preparing for potential 2027 World Cup leadership. (PC: Facebook)
