India’s batting coach, Sitanshu Kotak, expressed immense admiration for Shubman Gill following his stellar century in his inaugural match as captain in the first Test against England at Headingley. Kotak commended Gill’s strategic adjustments and composure, noting that the young skipper effectively identified areas for improvement and executed his plans seamlessly. Kotak also praised Rishabh Pant’s aggressive batting style, highlighting that Pant’s attacking nature doesn’t prevent him from adopting a defensive stance when required, calling his innings both smart and effective. For Kotak, Pant’s ability to assess situations and make independent decisions at the crease is key.
