Kane Williamson predicts Shubman Gill's future leadership success

Kane Williamson has praised Shubman Gill, his former Gujarat Titans teammate, as a strong candidate for future leadership in Indian cricket. Although Williamson is not participating in the IPL this season, he remains active as a commentator and shares insights on the game. Williamson is not surprised that Gill is being considered for captaincy across different formats. He described Gill as a "well put together human" with a strong cricketing mind. According to Williamson, Gill has a clear idea of how he wants to lead, which is an important trait for a captain. Gill has shown his leadership abilities in various settings. He became captain of the Gujarat Titans after Hardik Pandya's departure, although the team struggled last season, finishing in eighth place. In addition to his domestic experience, Gill has captained India in T20Is and served as vice-captain during the successful 2025 Champions Trophy. Williamson believes Gill is a special player who can adapt his game across formats. His confidence and capability make him a promising future leader for Indian cricket.
