Shubman Gill is leading Team India in the ongoing three-match ODI series Down Under. The right-handed batter was named India's new one-day captain when the squad for the white-ball series in Australia was announced. Gill replaced Rohit Sharma as ODI skipper despite the fact that the latter led India to victory in the Champions Trophy held in February-March in Dubai.
Gill made a disappointing start to his ODI captaincy journey. He failed with the bat in the first ODI in Perth, while India ended up losing the rain-affected clash by seven wickets. Asked to bat first, the Men in Blue were held to 136-9 in 26 overs. The skipper fell for 10, caught down the leg side off Nathan Ellis' bowling. Chasing a revised DLS target of 131, the Aussies cruised to victory in 21.1 overs.
Gill will be keen to make amends when India take on Australia in the second ODI in Adelaide on October 23. The Indian captain has featured in 56 matches so far. In this feature, we compare his stats with that of former Aussie opener David Warner after the latter had also played 56 ODI games.
