IPL 2024: "Future Captain Of India..." - Robin Uthappa Hailed Shubman Gill

Robin Uthappa expressed his belief that Shubman Gill has the potential to lead the Indian team in the future. Gill’s stellar performance helped Gujarat Titans secure a victory against Punjab Kings on Sunday, April 21. He played a crucial innings, scoring 35 runs, contributing significantly to GT’s victory in Mullanpur. This win marked Gill’s fourth victory as captain of Gujarat, a role he assumed before the start of the season.

Robin Uthappa Hailed Shubman Gill

In an interview with JioCinema following Gujarat Titans’ thrilling 3-wicket victory, Robin Uthappa showered praise on Shubman Gill, describing him as a valuable asset to Indian cricket. Uthappa expressed his belief that Gill is gradually evolving into a cricketing legend.

Uthappa also emphasized Gill’s growing leadership skills, suggesting that he has the potential to lead the national team in the future. He said:

“Yeah, I think he’s a gift for Indian cricket. I think he’s some who’s maturing into an all time great within the Indian cricket fraternity. And I think, we’ve seen him thrive, and we’re seeing him grow into a very prolific leader who is going to lead not just his IPL side, but I also think the Indian team in the near future,” said Uthappa.

Uthappa Also Praised Gill’s Knock

During the discussion about his innings of 35, Uthappa remarked that Shubman Gill, as the GT skipper, approached the game with the correct mindset. However, he expressed the opinion that Gill could benefit from having a partner who plays aggressively at the other end.

Uthappa noted that Gill was dismissed while attempting to increase the run rate, suggesting that Sai Sudharsan might evolve into an aggressive batter in the future to provide support to the GT skipper.

“Great innings. I thought he went about his innings the right way because it’s important for him to bat through the course of the innings for GT to get success, so he approached it in that fashion. He needed someone to play a little bit more aggressively at the end and take off pressure from him so that he could play that.”

He added:

“So, when he went to up the ante is when he got out. He didn’t need to do that. Sai Sudarshan could have done it. But you know, I think that Sai Sudarsan transition into upping his strike rate also will happen in due time. And when that happens, I think that combination will be great,” said Uthappa.

Gujarat Titans will be next seen in action against Delhi Capitals on April 24th in Delhi.
