India's middle-order batter Karun Nair has voiced strong support for Shubman Gill, the young captain who led the team during the recent Test series against England. The series ended in a hard-fought 2-2 draw, marking a notable moment for both the team and Nair personally. After a long hiatus of over eight years, Nair made a much-anticipated comeback to the Indian Test squad. With stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli stepping down from Test cricket, and coach Gautam Gambhir emphasizing a team-first approach, the Indian side was in a phase of rebuilding. This transformation saw the recall of the 33-year-old Nair, who last donned the Test whites in 2017. Despite the lengthy absence, he returned to contribute meaningfully in the final Test. Nair praised Gill's calm and clear leadership throughout the series, appreciating how he managed both his batting responsibilities and captaincy duties. Karun remarked, “The way Shubman held everyone together and the encouragement he gave was great to see. He was crystal clear with his communication from the beginning. To achieve what he did as a batter, while also leading the team as a leader, he exemplified the spirit of Gauti (Gautam Gambhir)bhai."

At just 25, he emerged as the top scorer in the series, amassing 754 runs. His notable achievements included a double century and a century in the same Test at Edgbaston. The series climaxed with a thrilling victory at The Oval, which secured the drawn series. For Nair, the journey was mixed. He struggled to build big innings in the early matches but made a crucial 57 in the first innings at The Oval, which helped India in clinching the win. Under Gill’s leadership, a relatively young and inexperienced Indian squad showed resilience against a strong English team on home soil. The combination of tactical acumen and batting prowess displayed by Gill has cemented confidence in his potential as a long-term leader in Test cricket.
