Ex-India captain Sunil Gavaskar said Shubman Gill looked like an amalgam of former India skippers Ajit Wadekar, Kapil Dev and Rahul Dravid in Birmingham. He stated Gill possessed the laconic style of Wadekar, rip roaring yet controlled style of Kapil and intense and thoughtful method of Dravid. Notably, India have won Test series in England under each of the three.
