Shubman Gill will be a very good leader not only for the Gujarat titans in the Indian Premier (IPL), but also for India, the Afghanistan skipper T20i Rashid Khan said on Saturday. Gill led the Titans of Gujarat from the front with 465 points in 10 matches to 51.66 with six fifty -fifthism so far this season. “Shubman Gill is his second year at the head of the team and he improved in time in each match,” said Rashid in a media interaction.
“In the future, he will certainly be one of the very, very good leaders in India, not only GT but also for India. He has these qualities and skills. But it is very important that you have this good link with the head coach where he makes these things for you a little,” he said.
With seven victories in 10 games and three defeats, GT was one of the teams to beat, which is a complete turnaround of the last season in which they had finished eighth in the first year of Gill as captain.
“Last year, things did not go in our direction,” said Rashid.
“We were doing our best, but that was not done in us. Some results, you know, we could have had them on our way but did not pass.” “But it is quite important that you have this good relationship and this good understanding between the head coach and the captain and I feel like Ashish (Nehra) Bhai and Shubman Bhai, they both have this kind of understanding and that’s quite important,” said Rashid.
The Spinner Ace Afghanistan said that Gill had made the conference as a leader while answering a question about GT’s global success so far in this IPL.
“It is on the whole a team effort. From Ashish Bhai, how he manages the team, then Captain Shubman Gill, how he manages the interior, then how he leads.
“It is something that gives an example for us as a player who, yes, the captain leads by the front. To be honest, we simply keep things simple. The more simple we keep, the better we strive. We do not really think of the result, but we really think of the process and the state of mind and the preparation,” said Rashid.
With seven counters in 10 games, Rashid has not had the best of seasons so far this year, which the Afghan Spinner has recognized.
“This is a difficult question as a difficult season for me,” he replied when he asked him about his form.
“Even if you have seen from yesterday’s bowling alder (against Sunrisers Hyderabad) too, I don’t even have a bowl.
“If I miss my line and length every day, I think any striker will mark races against me. I think the length and the line were missing, but I just need to focus on this game.
Talking about how the point painting is announced, Rashid said: “This competition does not allow you that, yes, we have seven games and we have to earn one more to lock ourselves in the first four. The Mumbai Indians have five or six consecutive victories and the match against them will be important to us.”
