New Delhi. Indian Test team captain Shubman Gill has told what he has had a conversation with Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir and BCCI Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar. Apart from this, Gill also said that he has learned a lot from the leadership of Virat Kohli. The Indian team will play a Test series against England from June 20 under the captaincy of Gill. Gill’s captain has been made after Rohit Sharma’s retirement from the test.
‘Gautam Bhai is very determined and very committed’
Gill has a coaching style experience of Gambhir since the days of Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL and he is confident of reconciling with him in the national atmosphere. He said, ‘Gautam Bhai is very determined, very committed. And he is also very clear in his dialogue, what he wants from the players and what kind of mindset he wants in the players. Gautam Bhai pays more attention to what kind of attitude or mentality he needs from the team or players.
Gill’s crisis management capacity will be tested when he will have to decide on the bowling burden of major fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah. The chief selector Agarkar had already made it clear that there is little possibility that India will get Bumrah’s services in the entire series. Gill said, ‘This match is based on rate match and it is to be seen how much work is on them. We are trying to focus on this. You need to see how much burden he was on them in this special match.
‘We do not want to have a pre -fixed mentality’
Gill said, ‘We do not want to have a pre -fixed mentality. Because there are many factors that will not be in your favor to decide whether he will play the next match or not. Gill said about Virat, ‘When I played under the leadership of Virat, I think that in Test matches, fielding or thoughts or his thinking was something that I liked and I adopted it. If they feel that this scheme is not working, then he immediately makes another plan, tells the bowler what he wants from them.
