Head coach Gautam Gambhir has lauded Shubman Gill' for earning the dressing room's respect and growing as a skipper by "saying and doing the right things" in his short captaincy career so far.

Gambhir's comments came after India's 2-0 Test series sweep over West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Tuesday. This victory marked Shubman Gill's first home series win as Test captain.

Notably, Gill was appointed as India's Test captain in May 2025 after Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli retired from the format. He was named ODI captain earlier this month, replacing Rohit ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup cycle. The 26-year-old Gill will start his ODI captaincy during the upcoming ODI tour of Australia, starting on October 19 in Perth.
