Ex-England batter David Lloyd said Shubman Gill reminds him of ex-India captain Mohammad Azharuddin, who, "with his languid stroke play and relaxed mannerisms, looked like nothing fazed him". "Batting looks effortless to Gill, and he is wonderful to watch," he added. "Gill's next challenge is to get comfortable with captaincy because he looked a little confused at Leeds," Lloyd stated.
