The newly appointed Indian test captain, Shubman Gill, has made it clear that he is in the leadership role with full freedom and an external pressure zero ahead of the five -party test series against England, from June 20 in Headingley in Leeds.
Despite being given one of the most prestigious and harsh work in the world of Cricket, the 25-year-old star mixer has revealed that neither the BCCI, the main coach Gautam Gambhir, nor the coach in any Ajit Agarkar has loaded him highly with the paper.

Shubman Gill told Dinesh Karthik in a Sky Sports hot chat, “expectations … I’ve had this conversation several times with Gauti Bhai and Ajit Bhai. They just want to express me as a leader. This is what I have been told,” There is no expectations. “
They do not expect to do something that I am not able to. In this regard, I do not think there are expectations or pressure, but you definitely have some kind of expectations for yourself as a leader and player. So these are the expectations I have of me, but not them. “

Shubman Gill seeks to build his own leadership path
With Rohit Sharma, shoted Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin, they retired from Test Cricket, Shubman Gill faces a great challenge in England, where India has not won a series of tests since 2007. But the young captain does not let the pressure reach him ahead of the test series.
The batter on the right hand will have the support of senior players such as Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadja, and now he is looking forward to starting this new chapter in the correct note. Gill does not only look at trophies, but his goal is to build a team culture where players feel safe, motivated and happy.
Gill signed himself by saying, “Apart from all the ships and trophies separately, I would like to create a culture where everyone is very safe and happy. I know that it can be a very difficult environment, especially with all the competition or the number of matches we play and that there are different squads, but if I am able to do it, this would be my goal.”
