ENG vs IND tour is exam for Gill, good batting key to good captaincy: Karim

The upcoming England tour will be an exam for new Test leader Shubman Gill and his success as captain may depend on his own batting performance, reckons former India selector Saba Karim. India kick-started a new era in Test cricket with the appointment of Gill as captain following retirements of stalwarts such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin in quick succession. Gill is a gifted player but he is yet to flourish as a Test batter, managing just 1,893 runs in 32 Tests at an average just under 32, with four centuries. While his technique is compact and batting has flair, he's yet to deliver the kind of consistent, match-winning performances that mark elite Test batters. Yet, Saba Karim remains confident. "This is an examination for him. I am sure he's ready and up for it," Karim told PTI Videos on the sidelines of FIT India: Sunday on Cycle event on Sunday. "This is a big opportunity for him as a player. He needs to perform with the bat there, if he is able to do

Rohit, Virat and Ashwin gave us blueprint to win Tests away from home: Gill

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had "very contrasting styles" of leadership but the two iconic players along with spinner Ravichandran Ashwin have given the Indian team the "blueprint to win" Test series away from home, says new skipper Shubman Gill. Gill was on Saturday appointed India's captain in Tests. The first assignment for the 25-year-old is a five-Test series England where he won't have stalwarts like Kohli and Rohit in the line-up. "(The) guys like Rohit bhai, Virat bhai and Ashwin bhai they have given us a blueprint on how to tour away from home and win matches and series," Gill said in a video released by the BCCI on Sunday. "Yes, it's one thing to be able to deliver and execute, but because we have that blueprint, we know how to tour away from home and win matches and series," he added. Gill said while Kohli and Rohit had contrasting styles of leadership, they were also quite similar in style. "When I was a kid, I was always inspired by the great and the legends of India

Gill will have to lead from front, judgement of team can wait: Harbhajan

India's new Test skipper Shubman Gill will have to lead from the front in absence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma but the young team should not be judged too early, feels spin bowling great Harbhajan Singh. The 25-year-old Gill was on Saturday appointed as the full-time captain of the Indian team with Rishabh Pant as his deputy with the new World Test Championship cycle beginning with next month's England tour. Harbhajan welcomed the choice of Gill as captain but said there are challenges ahead. "Obviously it is a great move, having a young captain like Shubman Gill who has done well in franchise cricket," Harbhajan told PTI during the launch of TV show Who's the Boss' on Sunday. But this is going to be a tough tour, England has never been an easy tour. I hope that Shubman, Rishabh Pant this is a young team. There is no Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma, suddenly there is a big gap in that team and that also needs to be filled, so Shubman will have to lead from the front, he said. Harbh

We know how to keep scoreboard ticking on testing pitches: Shubman Gill

Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill said the understanding of playing on tricky surfaces has helped the top-three including himself, Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler to do well in the IPL this season. The trio has scored the bulk of the runs for GT who are on course to make the play-offs. It was no different on Friday as the top-order took the home side to 224 for six which the bowlers could comfortably defend against Sunrisers Hyderabad. GT also played just 22 dot balls in 20 overs. "Didn't plan that (22 dot balls), idea was to continue to play like we have. Black soil (pitches), we've seen it's not easy to hit sixes. But the way our top order plays, we know how to keep the scoreboard ticking. "We've never had the conversation for one of the top-three to always be there at the end. We're just eager to do our best," said Gill at the post match presentation. He top scored with 76 off 38 balls. On his heated exchange with the umpire during the run chase, Gill added: "There are so many
