There was none of the casual humour of Rohit Sharma or the brazenness of Virat Kohli.Instead, there was an understated calm. It is this mix of balance and potential that has earned him the job.
“My style of captaincy will be my own; it will develop with experience,” Gill said on Thursday at the BCCI headquarters.“Like Rohit bhai, I want to make the players feel safe, comfort them, and build strong bonds. Players need to feel secure, only then can they give 100 percent.”
Gill has had time to think of the challenges that lie ahead. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar, one understands, had told him about the impending responsibility before the announcement was made.
