[Saba Sports News] India batter Shubman Gill praised his opening partner and captain Rohit Sharma while speaking with Jio Cinema. He revealed about the attitude of Rohit towards fellow teammates and coaches, as well as the advice he gives to the players on the field.
“He gives a lot of freedom to players to express themselves. He tells the coaches as well to let the players make their own decisions on the field and that the player should be the best judge, and that is his best quality as a player and captain,” Shubman was quoted as saying to Jio Cinema.
Shubman, who will be an important asset to the Indian team in the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, further discussed about the preparations of the side ahead of the mega event.
“Yes, this year has been great for me. The preparation for the World Cup has been good. We have gotten good momentum from the Asia Cup as well. I think peaking at the right time is crucial ahead of a big tournament with so many matches,” he added.
