IPL: 7 cricketers who are destined to be captains in future

#3 Shubman Gill

Next big thing in Indian cricket?

Shubman Gill became the next big thing in Indian Cricket after he was the man of the tournament, and the leading run scorer of the U-19 World Cup winning Indian side.

These performances saw Kolkata Knight Riders picking him up for ₹1.8 crores in the 2018 IPL Auction. They might have brought the future leader of their team. By all means, Dinesh Karthik is just a transitional captain and major factor behind this is the age.

Gambhir was their key pillar which held the team together, if groomed well, Gill can be the guy to fill the void left by the southpaw from Delhi. His performances in the domestic circuit have already earned him a call-up to the Indian ODI squad. This selection will do a world of good to his confidence.

A special talent with the bat, Gill has already shown an unflappable temperament which is one the key assets for any skipper.
