India's head coach Gambhir lauds Gill's growth as Test captain after 2-0 series win over West Indies

India head coach Gautam Gambhir lauded Shubman Gill's growth as a skipper after the hosts completed a 2-0 Test series sweep over the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday.

Gill, entrusted with the captaincy following the Test retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli this year, had already weathered a stern examination during India’s 2-2 drawn five-match series in England.

"I think he has already passed his toughest test as a Test captain. That was in England, five Test matches away - away from home, tough conditions, against a quality team. I think every Test match is important, every one-day game is important, every T20 game is important which you represent your country in," Gambhir said in the post-match press conference after India wrapped up the series win.

The triumph in New Delhi marked Gill's first series win as India’s Test captain, especially in his first time of leading India in the longer format on home soil. India getting the seven-wicket win on day five also doubled as a birthday gift for Gambhir, who turned 44 at the stadium with a stand named after him.
