“Virat Kohli Would Say, I’ll Get You Out By Tea”: Shubman Gill’s Captaincy Shredded Into Pieces

When it comes to captaincy in Tests, there’s hardly any skipper in Team India’s history who tops what Virat Kohli managed to do. Especially on away tours, the way Kohli led his troops and infected everyone with his energy still remains unmatched. As India’s new Test skipper, Shubman Gill, took charge for the first time in the series opener against England, a contrasting style of leadership was on display.

India lost the match by 5 wickets, despite the contest witnessing 5 tons from the touring side, a first in the history of the sport. As pundits decode the reasons behind the team’s defeat, one of the factors that was cited by many was skipper Shubman Gill’s ‘defensive’ captaincy.
