What to know

  • Gambhir endorsed Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli as essential mentors for young captain Shubman Gill ahead of the West Indies ODI series starting September 27.
  • The praise coincides with chief selector Ajit Agarkar's planned exit and reported friction over Rohit's continued selection after an earlier decision to move on from him was reversed by the BCCI.
  • Gambhir credited Gill with executing captaincy well—composure, calmness, and selflessness—despite recent ODI series losses against England, Australia, and New Zealand.

“I feel that he has done all the right things…he has had a bit of a tough time in One Day cricket. But I am sure, I think things will turn around because he has done all the right things.”
