      Jonathan Trott says Shubman Gill must take more on-field control as captain

      Jonathan Trott praised Shubman Gill’s leadership after India’s Test win but advised him to take more on-field control. He said Gill has the right mindset to grow into the role and rated Bumrah’s return more valuable than Archer’s for England. Hyderabad: JioHotstar expert Jonathan Trott emphasized Shubman Gill’s potential as a long-term leader. “When your team wins, your decisions look good. But as Shubman’s captaincy tenure continues, he needs to take more on-field control,” he said. ” KL Rahul has a fantastic cricket brain and was leading parts of the field setup — that’s something Shubman will need to own more. What’s great is that he’s willing to listen and learn,” Trott said. ” Some young captains make the mistake of thinking…
