‘You’re filling Kohli’s or Tendulkar’s spot…’: Former England cricketer praises Shubman Gill on his strong captaincy

Shubman Gill playing technically along with beautiful temperament has left a significant impact on former England opener Mark Butcher, who feels that Gill has taken the ownership of Virat Kohli's No. 4 spot quite comfortably.

Mark Butcher has been in the commentary panel in the ongoing India vs England five-match Test series, and was left stunned with the visitors' batting- especially Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal's outings. All these three will now play the third Test in Lord's- starting 10th July.

"There aren't many jobs in world sport that come with as much pressure and scrutiny as being Indian cricket captain, right? Not to mention you're filling in Kohli's spot in the order, or Tendulkar's spot in the order (both held number four spot)," Mark said.

"So the pressures were enormous. And so far, he's taken to it like a duck to water. He's just looked very, very comfortable, very serene in terms of his temperament," he added.
