Ricky Ponting Endorses Shubman Gill as India's Future Leader

Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has thrown his weight behind Shubman Gill as a potential future captain for India. Speaking on The ICC Review, Ponting praised Gill's character and leadership qualities, stating, "I just like his demeanor. He seems like a very driven guy that wants to be the best he possibly can with batting and also in leadership." Gill's recent performances, including a century in India's Champions Trophy opener against Bangladesh, have solidified his status as the world's top-ranked ODI batter. With his elevation to vice-captain in white-ball formats, Gill's leadership journey seems to be gaining momentum, backed by cricket legends and team management alike.
