Shubman Gill Praises New Coach Gambhir, Eyes All-Format Success

India's vice-captain Shubman Gill commended new head coach Gautam Gambhir's clarity and expressed his ambitions to become an all-format player. Gill will serve as deputy to Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma in the upcoming tour to Sri Lanka, while Gambhir debuts as coach. Gill aims to improve his performance and firmly establish himself in all conditions.

India's vice-captain in white-ball formats, Shubman Gill, has applauded new head coach Gautam Gambhir for his clear communication, expressing his intent to become an all-format player in the coming months.

Gill will serve as vice-captain under Suryakumar Yadav in T20Is and under Rohit Sharma in ODIs during India's tour to Sri Lanka, which starts with the first T20I on Saturday. This marks Gambhir's debut tour as head coach after replacing Rahul Dravid, who stepped down following India's T20 World Cup win in the Americas last month.

Gill stated, "We are world champions and aim to continue our success under the new coaching staff. Working with Gambhir has shown me his clear intent and communication." Gill aspires to cement his place as an all-format batsman, focusing on upcoming crucial matches and long-term tours, including a five-match Test series in Australia and the Champions Trophy. Despite being vice-captain, Gill maintains that his priority remains performing well and winning matches.
