Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant “Ready” Test for Test Leadership Rolls, East-India Coach Dispels worry

If you had any doubt on Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant in the form of skipper and vice-captain for the Indian Test team, then there is nothing to worry about. If former India’s bowling coach Bharat Arun is believed, the future is in safe hands, as they have seen both players growing over time, and along with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, the pair are ready to take baton.

Shubman Gill “very calm and composed”

Their test will start from June 20, while both were ready for leadership roles, during their captaincy for GT and LSG in IPL 2025. Therefore, addressing the question, Gill and Pants are ready, Arun said, “I think, yes. Shubman Gill, very calm and gratitude,” he said.

“Even when he was a young man, he used to see the part. And I felt that he had captained very effectively in the IPL. Not only was it as prudent to martial, use them, it was very important to use them. Also, when you see him in the match, when you see his body language, he was not very upset.”

Rishabh Pant “Looked great”

For pants, he said that if he applies some qualities from his idol MS Dhoni, he will place it in a good place. “As far as Rishabh is concerned, his style is different. But also, he is living behind the stump, even in situations where the bowlers were taken for the run, he looked great. I think, Rishabh Pant, MS Dhoni is one of his biggest idols.

“And he spent a lot of time with MS. So, I think that experience and peace and that coolness that MS Dhoni is known during matches, Rishabh Pant, even if he uses some of those qualities, he will become a good captain.”
