New Delhi, Oct 9
Though the Men’s ODI World Cup is still well over two years away, but Shubman Gill, India’s Test skipper and newly appointed 50-over captain, has dropped hints over batting stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma remaining central to the team’s plans.
“The players who have the same skill and the same quality with this experience, there are very few players in the world who have all of that. So, in that respect, I am very happy,” said Gill in the pre-match press conference, ahead of the second Test against the West Indies, starting at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday.
Gill also said that he hopes to carry forward the “calmness” that Rohit, who captained India to T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy triumphs, brought to the dressing room in the 50-over format.
“I want to stay as present as possible and don't really want to look back on what I've or as a team, we have been able to achieve. Just want to look forward and win everything that we have in the upcoming months,” he said.
