Kohli’s comments come ahead of India’s three-match ODI series against West Indies. The series will see Kohli and Rohit Sharma in action alongside captain Gill, who suffered a brief injury scare on Friday when he was struck on the elbow by a Mohammed Siraj delivery during a net session.
All three matches are scheduled to begin at 2 PM. Gill will lead India in the series, while Kohli will be one of the senior figures in the batting lineup as India continue their preparations for the 2027 World Cup.
He later returned to the session for throwdowns, easing some of the immediate concern ahead of the opening ODI.
Shubman, the captain, is still learning - Virat Kohli
"Shubman, the captain, is still learning. He is still young in the role, but he has got the right perspective and the right kind of intensity to lead the Indian team. He (Gill) has his plans very clear in terms of how he looks at us operating in the field," Kohli said on JioStar.
"Of course, with more experience and understanding situations, the kind of calls you take are things that he will keep working on and improving, which everyone does in a leadership role," Kohli added.
What has changed is, firstly, I promised myself that I am going to play more freely - Virat Kohli
Since becoming a one-format international player, Virat Kohli has spoken about approaching his batting with greater freedom rather than being restricted by expectations or a specific role.
"My role had always been, for a long period of time, that I am going to stabilise things. I know I can play, I know I can hit shots. But the demands are such that if it is a tricky situation and you are playing on a tricky pitch, you eventually get into a space where you are like, I can hit, but I have been given a role," he added.
