Have to Give the Signal That Shubman Gill Is Our Captain - Navjot Singh Sidhu
"If you make Gill a captain in Test cricket, then make him open or play him at No. 3. Then don't put a protective shield on him. Then you will have to give the signal that he is our captain. We are investing in him for a year. And Gill opens. Then don't say that we will make him play instead of Kohli. You can't do that. Because that's a wrong signal. Because a strong man doesn't need a protective shield," said Sidhu.
