Shubman Gill revealed that he reached out to Sachin Tendulkar and Steve Smith, and both of them offered him similar advice, which helped him succeed on the England tour.
He replaced Rohit Sharma at the helm after the latter retired from the longest format of the game ahead of the England tour. This decision was met with criticism, with many backing Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant as superior candidates for the role and questioning Gill's performances in red-ball cricket.
Gill looked stunning with the bat from the very first Test match and continued his form throughout the series. He finished the series as the leading run-getter, slamming 754 runs when no other batter even touched the 600-run mark.
