Shubman Gill wants to give such an environment to the players

To this, Shubman Gill said, “Apart from the trophy, I want to create such an atmosphere, culture inside the team, where everyone feels safe and happy. It can be difficult to make such an environment, because we play so many matches, are separate squads. But if I can do it, I will do it, this is my goal.”
On the question by Karthik on his father’s reaction, Gill said, “He probably did not think that I would become a captain, even I did not think. When I was younger, I wanted to play only for the country, to perform for the country and win the match, I did not think that I would become a captain.”
Even if you abuse Rohit Sharma …
Dinesh Karthik asked that you played with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli. What did you learn from him as a leader? To this Gill said, “When I played under the captaincy of Virat Bhai, in the test, his idea, his idea, his thinking, these things I liked and I learned like that. If he did not work, he had a second plan prepared. He used to talk to the bowlers. He used to talk to the bowlers that he would not say what he wanted. He did not say aggressively but he was the aggressive captain and he had his conversation.”
Speaking about Rohit Sharma, Gill said, “He had maintained such an atmosphere inside the team that even if he abuses you, then you will not keep him on the heart. It was his personality, which was fantastic. If he would also get angry at you, he will not speak from the heart, he will just say so while thinking about the interest of the team.”
