No toxic competition in the team, says Shubman Gill

When he turned up for Punjab against Karnataka, last month after a disappointing Australia tour, he scored a ton. It would have boosted his confidence for the upcoming Champions Trophy.

Being named vice-captain in ODIs may be a tick against his name, but he knows, the runs must keep flowing. Being asked to sit out of the Melbourne Test came against the run of play. But uneasy has been India’s batting transition and there can be casualties.

Recently, Abhishek Sharma played some breathtaking innings against England in T20Is. Yashasvi Jaiswal has had a rich run of scores in whites. If Gill wants to play all formats, which he does, he cannot take the foot off the peddle.
