Amit Mishra says Shubman Gill has no idea about captaincy and looks clueless
The veteran spinner of team India, Amit Mishra, has voiced concerns regarding Shubman Gill’s elevation to the Indian captaincy for the recently concluded T20I series against Zimbabwe. Mishra called Gill a clueless captain, despite the young opener leading India to a 4-1 T20I series win against Zimbabwe.
The veteran spinner spoke candidly on Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast on YouTube and questioned the decision to hand the captaincy to Gill, suggesting that RuturajGaikwad would have been a better choice. Mishra said, “Mai Shubmanko captain nahibanaunga, kyonkimaineusey IPL me dekha, he doesn’t know ki captaincy kaisekarnahai, uskepaas captaincy ka idea hi nahihai.”
“Just because he is a part of the Indian team, he shouldn’t be made captain. Gill has done well in the IPL over the last few seasons; he did fine with the Indian team as well. The Indian team made him the captain because they wanted to give him leadership experience, which wasn’t visible when he led the Gujarat Titans in the IPL," Mishra added.
