Matured Gill reflects on lessons from hard-fought England series

AN elated Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj looked back on a tough and challenging series on English soil after India’s triumph at The Oval.

Shubman Gill came into the England series with a lot of pressure on his shoulders. The 25-year-old’s last red-ball assignment was the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where he managed just 93 runs in five innings.

Adding to the challenge was the significant shift in responsibility, as he took over the captaincy following Rohit Sharma’s retirement. With the series ending in a 2-2 draw, Gill admits it has been a steep but enjoyable learning curve for him as both a player and a leader, following India’s thrilling six run win in London that squared the series.
