Indian ODI captain Shubman Gill has addressed the rumours about tension with former skipper Rohit Sharma. In a recent interview, he clarified that their relationship remains respectful, open, and built on mutual trust.
Gill Denies Any Rift
Gill said the talk outside doesn’t reflect reality. “The narrative that is going on outside is different but there is nothing different in our relationship now,” he explained. He added that they regularly exchange thoughts and advice about the game.
Mutual Respect Between Captain and Mentor
Gill’s statement reflects calm and clarity inside the dressing room. His words show that he values Rohit’s experience and wisdom, treating him as a mentor even after taking over the captaincy.
Learning from Rohit’s Experience
Gill acknowledges that Rohit’s cricketing insight comes from years of leadership. He seeks guidance whenever needed, maintaining a balance between confidence and humility—a quality that strengthens his leadership style.
A Reflection of Kohli-Dhoni Bond
This dynamic mirrors the understanding once shared between Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, when Dhoni handed over the white-ball captaincy but continued to guide from behind the stumps. Gill seems to be following the same path of respect and continuity.
A Confident and United Team
With a strong bond between the seniors and the young captain, the Indian team looks united and focused. Fans can expect this harmony to reflect on the field when Gill’s side faces Australia, guided by Rohit and Virat’s presence.
