Unka maanana hai ki ek achha leader wahi hai jo apne players ke saath khul kar baat kare, unhe surakshit feel karaye aur unke strengths aur weaknesses ke baare mein openly discuss kare. Yeh approach na sirf team mein bonding ko badhata hai, balki players ko apna best performance dene ke liye motivate bhi karta hai.
Communication: Team ke saath khuli baat
Gill ka focus hai players ke saath clear aur honest communication. Unhone kaha hai, “Mujhe players ke saath baat karna, unhe secure feel karana aur unke strengths aur weaknesses ke baare mein comfort dena pasand hai.” Yeh baat unhone Mumbai mein England tour ke liye press conference mein kahi, jahan unhone apne captaincy style ko explain kiya. Unka yeh approach Rohit Sharma se inspired hai, jo hamesha calm aur communicative rahe hain. Gill ne kaha, “Rohit bhai bahut calm the aur players ke saath clearly baat karte the. Maine unse yeh qualities seekhi hain.”
Unka yeh belief hai ki jab players mentally secure feel karte hain, tab woh apna 100% de sakte hain. X posts mein bhi fans ne is baat ki taareef ki hai, jahan unhone kaha, “Gill ka style apna hoga, lekin Rohit ki tarah woh players ko safe aur supported feel karana chahte hain.” Yeh dikhata hai ki Gill ka vision team ke saath emotional aur professional connection banane ka hai.
Security: Players ko confidence dena
Gill samajhte hain ki har player ka personality alag hota hai. Unhone BCCI.tv ko bataya, “Har player ka jeevan alag hota hai, unki personality alag hoti hai. Ek achha leader ko yeh jaanna chahiye ki kaise unhe best performance ke liye motivate karna hai.” Unka yeh approach unhe ek empathetic leader banata hai, jo players ke individual needs ko samajhta hai.
Gerald Coetzee, jo Gujarat Titans mein Gill ke saath khel chuke hain, ne unki captaincy ki taareef ki. Unhone kaha, “Gill bowlers ko apne ideas share karne ki azaadi dete hain. Agar unhe kuch alag lagta hai, toh short discussion ke baad decision lete hain. Unki clarity bahut achhi hai.” Yeh dikhata hai ki Gill na sirf batting mein, balki team management mein bhi decisive aur clear hain.
Comfort: Strengths aur weaknesses ko samajhna
Gill ka focus hai ki players apne strengths aur weaknesses ke baare mein comfortable feel karein. Woh chahte hain ki players apne game ke baare mein openly baat karein, taaki team mein trust aur unity bani rahe. Unhone kaha, “Bonding with players is very important. Jab players secure feel karte hain, tabhi woh apna best de sakte hain.”
Yeh approach cricket ke context mein bahut important hai, kyunki Test cricket mentally aur physically demanding hota hai. Gill ne England ke five-Test series ko challenging maana, lekin saath hi kaha ki woh is challenge ke liye excited hain. Unhone kaha, “Five-Test series ka apna alag essence hota hai. Yeh mentally aur physically challenging hota hai, aur yahi Test cricket ko exciting banata hai.”
England tour: Ek bada challenge
Gill ki captaincy ki pehli badi pariksha England ke khilaaf five-Test series hogi, jo 20 June 2025 se shuru ho rahi hai. Yeh tour unke liye kathin hoga, kyunki team mein Virat Kohli aur Rohit Sharma jaise experienced players nahi honge, jo recently Test cricket se retire hue hain. Team mein sirf Lokesh Rahul aur Rishabh Pant hi aise batsmen hain jo pehle England tour kar chuke hain.
Glenn McGrath ne Gill ki taareef ki aur kaha, “Mujhe Gill ka composure pasand hai. Woh abroad mein abhi utna consistent nahi rahe, lekin yeh unka next challenge hai.” Gill khud is baat ko maante hain ki unhe apne batting performance ko improve karna hai. Unhone kaha, “Main averages aur numbers par focus nahi karta, lekin as a captain, main apne bat se lead karna chahta hoon.”
Selectors ka bharosa aur future vision
Selectors ne Gill ko captain banane ka faisla unki potential aur leadership qualities ke basis par liya. Rahul Dravid ne 2024 England series ke dauraan Gill mein leadership potential dekha tha, jab unhone team planning mein interest dikhaya aur calm temperament dikhaya. Michael Clarke ne bhi Gill ko future all-format superstar kaha hai, aur unhe lagta hai ki captaincy unke batting ko bhi improve karegi.
Gill ka vision clear hai: woh ek aisa environment banana chahte hain jahan players freely apne ideas share karein, apne strengths ka use karein aur weaknesses par kaam karein. Unka yeh approach na sirf team ko unite karega, balki unhe ek successful captain banane mein bhi madad karega.
Shubman Gill ki captaincy style mein communication, security aur comfort central themes hain. Woh players ke saath strong bond banana chahte hain, taaki team ek unit ke roop mein kaam kare. England ka tour unke liye ek bada challenge hai, lekin unki clarity aur empathetic approach unhe is role mein shine karne ka mauka dega. Fans aur experts dono unke leadership se impressed hain, aur yeh dekhna exciting hoga ki woh kaise Indian cricket ko aage le jaate hain.
