“I believe that Suryakumar and Gautam have similar thought processes and mindsets. I have also performed with Surya Bhai in South Africa. Gill stated at the press conference, as cited by “I think you’ll get to see the effects on the pitch as well. Their understanding is similar.”
It was unexpected when Suryakumar Yadav was named T20I captain because Hardik Pandya had been prepared for a long time to assume the role in Rohit Sharma’s absence. But the new team administration has doubts about Hardik’s fitness, which is why they named Suryakumar the new captain.
However, Shubman Gill, who was named the team’s new vice captain, discussed Suryakumar and new head coach Gautam Gambhir’s similar mindsets during his first press conference.
The cricketer, who was born in Mumbai, has experience playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders under Virat Kohli and even served as his deputy. Gill observed that the players’ shared comprehension of the game will be evident when they take the pitch for the inaugural Twenty20 International (T20I) match against Sri Lanka on 27 July at Pallekele.
Gill further disclosed that the players are content that Abhishek Nayar has been named one of the assistant coaches. The former cricket player from India performed admirably for KKR, which aided in his recruitment to the Indian national squad. One of the main advantages, according to Gill, is that Nayar spends a lot of time on the pitch.
“Nayar puts in a lot of effort and stays on the pitch for extended periods of time until the players are happy with their personal advancement. That, in my opinion, is his greatest asset, Gill remarked.
The goal is going to be to become a better batter: Shubman Gil
Shubman Gill was disappointed when he was left out of India’s 2024 T20 World Cup roster. He is now over it, though, and said that while his play before the competition wasn’t particularly impressive, he still intends to get better at bat and eventually be a star on the T20I squad.

In reference to my selection for the World Cup, I believe that my T20I performances up until that point fell short of what I had anticipated from myself. However, moving forward, we’ll play between 30 and 40 games in this cycle, with improving as a hitter being the main goal, according to the 24-year-old.
