Shubman Gill has been an exceptional performer for Team India in his first series as a captain. Breaking several records, he has impressed the former cricketer and has successfully turned his critics into fans

Technically sound

Shubman, who has been enjoying his rich vein of form, possesses no quality of playing a rash shot. Be it straight drive from a straight bat or accumulating runs in the fine gaps, the right-hander has been delivering photo-worthy shots during his time at the crease

Calm demeanour

Although there have been moments in the ongoing series where Gill was seen getting engaged in verbal spats with the opponents, he generally showcases a calm and composed behaviour. In his debut captaincy Test series, the 25-year-old has hardly left any stone unturned

Leadership qualities

Often when India has struggled to bat out against opponents, irrespective of the conditions, Gill has emerged to be the side's premier batsman. Since his appointment as Test skipper, he has been leading from the front by delivering crucial knocks in India's innings

Team India is trailing by 1-2 in the ongoing five-match Test series against England. The visitors will eagerly look to secure a win in an attempt to draw the series
