England will need to come up with answers for Gill, says Mark Butcher
The Political and Business Daily
|July 08, 2025
SHUBMAN Gill's technically sound game and serene temperament has left quite an impression on former England opener Mark Butcher, who feels the Indian Test captain has taken ownership of Virat Kohli's number four spot quite comfortably despite the "enormous scrutiny".
-
Butcher, who has been commentating in the ongoing India-England Test series, has been left in awe of the visitors' batters especially Gill, K L Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal. All three go to Lord's for the third Test starting July 10 with hundreds against their names.
Gill's staggering performance includes three hundreds and has catapulted his average into the 40s from mid 35s in just two Tests.
Speaking to PTI, Butcher said what Gill has done in his first series as captain is beyond special.
"There aren't many jobs in world sport that come with as much pressure and scrutiny as being Indian cricket captain, right? Not to mention you're filling in Kohli's spot in the order, or Tendulkar's spot in the order (both held number four spot).
