Recently, former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly hailed India’s current Test and ODI skipper Shubman Gill, calling the 26-year-old “a perfect captain”.
Speaking at an event Ganguly lauded Gill’s leadership during India’s tour of England, noting the challenge of captaining at a young age in such conditions. Ganguly wished him continued success, highlighting Gill as an outstanding all-format player.
“Shubman Gill is a fantastic batter and a perfect captain. He captained India remarkably in England. As a young boy, going to England and captaining in England is not easy. He is a perfect captain and will continue to do well for India as a captain. My good wishes to him. Gill is an all-format player and a fantastic player. I wish him all the best,” Ganguly said.
Under Gill’s leadership, India have had a strong start to their World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle, having won four out of the seven Test matches that they have played, having lost two and drawn one test.
