Speaking about handing over India's Test captaincy to Shubman Gill, India head coach Gautam Gambhir revealed, "I told Gill, 'We've thrown you into a deep sea.'" "Either you will drown or you will become a world-class swimmer," Gambhir added. "For me, the way a 25-year-old kid, with...young team, handled himself, his captaincy...against a quality...England side (is what matters)," he stated.
