Vikram Rathour’s Opinion on Shubman Gill’s Captaincy Potential

 Shubman Gill has managed to secure a place in the Indian cricket team in just five years. Being an exponent of classical stroke play and amazing technique, Gill regularly turns up among the top performers in domestic cricket and international cricket alike.

The recent stint as captain of the Gujarat Titans in the IPL not only brought out his batting acumen but also proved him to lead from the front, guiding his team in a strategically savvy manner. This was further underlined by his captaincy in a youthful Indian side’s resounding 4-1 win over Zimbabwe in a T20 series, where Gill’s leadership shone brightly

Gill’s leadership acumen was finally rewarded with his appointment as vice-captain for India’s upcoming tour to Sri Lanka. The Board of Control of Cricket in India’s move reflects their immense faith in the young man’s maturity, cricketing intelligence, and ability to accept any challenge that comes his way to leadership at the highest level of the game. According to Vikram Rathore, talented cricketers have the potential to turn out to be great captains by assuming leadership roles. He mentioned the example of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, saying that captainship not only added a fillip to their games but also got the entire team to achieve new heights of success.

Rathour believes that Shubman Gill has growth potential as a leader. He thinks it is an important role for Gill to develop leadership skills. Rathour feels that, in time, he could handle the leadership responsibility across all formats of cricket. Essentially, Rathour speaks of the leadership skills present in cricket, turning talented players into exceptional captains. Being the vice-captain, Gill forms a core part of the leadership team in the squad and brings much astuteness to the strategic deliberations.

Talented cricketers turning into exceptional captains who turn their teams into great ones come through leadership roles.

Vikram Rathour believes the two most important qualities of a great cricket captain are that Shubman Gill only does well when he is under pressure and that he stays positive. But on the flip side, Shubman Gill is now ready to embrace challenges and responsibilities. He took the example of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. He had said that when they became captains, it not only made them better players but also helped the whole team achieve more success than before.

As he said, this stint as vice-captain will further help him grow as a leader. Rathour firmly believes in his potential and that he is not only a very talented batsman but also a future leader who can help shape India’s cricketing future. With the strong backing of cricketing legend Vikram Rathour and his recent elevation as vice-captain, Gill is all set to leave an indelible mark on Indian cricket. This could be a trajectory that would say, indeed, Gill is that one lead character who would drive India’s cricketing destiny through uncharted heights in the years to come.
