Sourav Ganguly Endorses Shubman Gill as India’s All-Format Captain

His intervention calls for patience with a young leader judged over a short window.

Overview

  • In remarks at Eden Gardens and on Bandhan Bank’s The Captain’s Calm podcast, Ganguly said Gill “should be captain of everything.”
  • He pointed to Gill’s strong showing in England three months ago when he led a young side without Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma.
  • Recent coverage highlights inconsistency, citing ODI scores of 10, 9 and 24 and T20I returns of 37*, 5, 15, 46 and 29* against Australia after an unbeaten 129 versus the West Indies in October.
  • Criticism of Gill’s temperament and leadership suitability has grown, with Ganguly urging patience to allow development.
  • No official captaincy changes have been announced, with Suryakumar Yadav reported as India’s current T20I captain and News18 noting Gill has a neck injury.
