Another controversial statement from Amit Mishra, calls Shubman Gill's captaincy 'clueless'

Amit Mishra said that Shubman Gill doesn’t know how to do captaincy.

Indian batter Shubman Gill made his international captaincy debut during the five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe. Gill led a young line-up where they defeated the hosts 4-1 in the five-match series. However, veteran Indian cricketer Amit Mishra has questioned Gill’s captaincy.

The 24-year-old Gill was also the leading run-getter of the five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe. The right-handed batter scored 170 runs at an average of 42.50, which includes two half-centuries.

Will not make Shubman Gill captain: Amit Mishra

After Hardik Pandya’s exit, Gujarat Titans (GT) named their star batter Shubman Gill as new captain of the side. However, Shubman looked clueless during his IPL captaincy debut with GT failing to reach the playoffs. Gill-led GT finished at eighth position in the points table with five wins in 14 games.

In a recent podcast on Shubhankar Mishra’s YouTube channel, veteran Indian cricketer Mishra questioned the decision to hand leadership role to Gill. The Indian leg-spinner suggested that Ruturaj Gaikwad would have been a better choice than Gill.

“Mai Shubman ko captain nahi banaunga, kyonki maine usey IPL me dekha, he doesn’t know ki captaincy kaise karna hai, uske paas captaincy ka idea hi nahi hai. (I would not have made him the captain. You saw the IPL this season, Gill doesn’t know how to captain the side, he is clueless),” Mishra remarked.

“Just because he is a part of the Indian team, he shouldn’t be made the captain. Gill has done well in the IPL over the last few seasons, he did fine in the Indian team as well. The Indian team made him the captain as they want to give him the leadership experience, which wasn’t visible when he led Gujarat Titans in IPL,” Mishra added.
