What did you think about Shubman Gill’s performance as captain in the first Test against England?

“I looked down from the press box, the commentary status, a lot of captains; it was a bit captaincy by the committee, which could be as a leader in your early days because you are still senior players like Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul and want to try as much as possible.He also questioned India’s bowling strategy during the match – especially the use of Ravindra Jadeja – and suggested that Gill could be more vocal in guiding his senior spinner.“A word with Jadeja, perhaps as a young captain, to go to such an experienced spinner, and go, you know that Rough is out of there. Ravi Shastri and Mark Butcher are there, going there, going, show us where the ball is pitching, and it was pitching with someone,” Hussain said.Hussain wrapped his assessment with a lack of on-field communication around a comment on the final result and major bowling strategies.“Ravi was saying, slightly slow, a little wide, rough bowl.As India looks forward to the second test, Gill’s strategic tendency is already being questioned and can it grow in the role of leadership with the series moving forward.
