Shubman Gill has said that they have no pressure in the england series. Shubman Gill, who was newly appointed to the indian Test team, answered various questions at a press conference held at the bcci headquarters about the upcoming Test series against England. Responding to a question regarding the captaincy, Gill said, "I was happy when I first heard about it. But, it is a big responsibility. I am eager to face this challenge. There is still some time to decide on the batting position, we are going to play an intra-team match, and then we will have a 10-day training camp. I don't have a particular captaincy style in mind. These develop gradually as you play. I like to connect with the players. I will try to make them feel comfortable with their strengths and weaknesses. Only when the players feel safe will they perform well," Gill said when asked about his stats in England. "Of course, I want to lead by example. But averages and stats are not important to me. They play baseball in a certain way. It is exciting for us. It is a great challenge.
If we are proactive in our plans, there will be pressure on them. There will be pressure on them every tour with the retirement of virat kohli and Rohit Sharma. These two big players have served us for a long time and it is not easy to fill their place. But it is not an extra burden. We are used to it now," Gill said. The indian team is set to play a much-anticipated series against england on june 20. It will be interesting to see how Gill will lead the team in challenging conditions. Gill's stats in england have not been great; he has scored only 88 runs in six innings at an average of 14.66.
