India Test captain Shubman Gill on Tuesday said he does not hesitate in taking "bold decisions" to extract the best out of his players as he gets used to the highly-scrutinised role. Gill's first Test assignment as leader was the marquee five-match away series against England which was ended in a 2-2 draw, before he led the side to a 2-0 clean sweep over the West Indies following a seven-wicket win in the second match here on Tuesday. "I try to make the most probable decision in the given situation that we're in that game. And sometimes you have to take a little bit of bold decisions and that X factor depending on which player can get you certain runs or can get you those wickets," he said. "I would say I am kind of getting used to it, managing all the players in this side," the 26-year-old Gill answered when asked about his evolution as a leader. "I enjoy responsibility. I like to be the guy out there and I do it my way. Being involved in some of the key decisions is something tha

The contrasting batting styles of inseparable best buddies Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill makes them a riveting "fire-and-ice" combination in India's T20 cricket set-up, feels skipper Suryakumar Yadav. On Sunday, what looked like a tricky chase of 172 in the Asia Cup clash against arch foes Pakistan, became a cakewalk because the two best friends since the age of 10, conjured an eye-catching 105-run opening stand. Abhishek went on to score a scintillating 74 off 39 balls, his first fifty in the tournament while Gill shrugged off disappointment of an underwhelming league stage with a facile 47 off 28 balls. "It's like a fire-and-ice combination. They complement each other really well. And that's what I want to see. If someone is batting brilliantly, the other can take the back-seat and rotate the strike. It was required today to have a very good start. And they did (provide that)," Suryakumar told mediapersons after India's six-wicket win in the Super 4 game here on Sunday. Having
