Former West Indies pacer Ian Bishop believes that Shubman Gill&rsquo;s captaincy will only grow stronger by playing alongside Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the upcoming ODI series in Australia.
After India completed a 2-0 Test series win over the West Indies, Bishop said Gill has the temperament and skill to lead India, but will need time to mature as a tactician.
The 24-year-old opener will captain <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/ind-vs-aus-odis-gautam-gambhir-backs-shubman-gill-after-odi-captaincy-appointment-23598676" rel="nofollow">India in the ODIs in Australia</a>, his first major assignment since being handed the reins.
&ldquo;He&rsquo;ll be fine. Those two guys will help him along the way. He will grow in the job,&rdquo; Bishop said, referring to Rohit and Kohli.
&ldquo;He&rsquo;s nowhere near the finished article. People have to give him that chance to grow as a captain, and as a batsman, he will grow as well. He has the temperament and the skill to lead, but the growth in captaincy and tactics is something that will take a couple of seasons. I&rsquo;m sure he&rsquo;ll get help from the two veterans, said Bishop.
