Sai Kishore Says It Took Four Years to Figure Out Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill led India to 2-2 series draw in England recently.

Overview

  • Kishore called Gill a prodigy and cited a 260 in an Under-19 match at Patiala and a 270 in the Ranji Trophy as early markers of his class.
  • Gill, 25, captained India to a 2-2 draw in England in his first series as Test skipper and led all scorers with 754 runs across five Tests.
  • Having played under Gill at Gujarat Titans, Kishore praised how naturally the opener has taken to leadership at franchise and national levels.
  • Coverage also notes Gill’s recent appointment as India’s T20I vice-captain, with reports indicating he is set to feature in the Asia Cup 2025 in the UAE.
