Shubman told Papa’s reaction
In an interview of Dinesh Karthik, when he was asked what was your father’s reaction when he became a captain, Gill said – “He didn’t even think I would ever become a captain. I had not thought about it too. Since childhood, I had the only dream that I should play for India and win the match.”
What did you learn from Virat Kohli?
Gill told that under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, he felt the best thing that he was very active on the field. He had a plan ready for every situation. If one plan failed, the other used to bring immediately. He used to talk clearly to the bowlers and his thinking was always clear.
Specialty of Rohit Sharma
Gill said that Rohit Sharma had created such an atmosphere inside the team that even if he angrily tells you something, you will not take it on the heart. He speaks for the good of the team and there is never a personal anger in his words. This makes him a great leader.
