Chennai : While talking to Star Sports, he said that the team members should trust Subman Gill, the captain of the Gujarat team in the IPL series.
Subman Gill started as the new captain of Gujarat Titans in the ongoing IPL series. At the beginning of this series, he started the batting well and did not perform well with the bat. Although he has scored 426 runs in 13 matches in this IPL series, he has been selected as a reserve player for this year’s T20 World Cup.
It received mixed reviews on social media. Especially since he acted as the captain of the Gujarat team in this year’s IPL series, there were comments that he could not perform properly in the batting. In this case, Matthew Hayden, the former player of the Australian team, said that he can return as a captain and a batsman.
Speaking to Star Sports about this, he said, “I think Gill has to do whatever it takes to prove himself as a captain. Once Steve Waugh told us in the Australian team, ‘Because I am the captain, no one has to wait. Behave like a captain on and off the field. At the same time you follow the same while playing for your state team.
After that, when you come to play for your country, my job as captain becomes easier,’ he said. Similarly, the players in his team now have to trust and respect Gill as a captain. Can he be a captain? If you ask me, I am sure I can do it,” he said while talking to Star Sports.
