Gill in honeymoon period as captain; India’s talent pool never ends: Ganguly

KOLKATA: Shubman Gill is enjoying a “honeymoon period” as India’s Test captain but there will be more pressure on him in the days to come, feels former India skipper Sourav Ganguly.

Ganguly, who turned 53 on Tuesday, recalled his recent interview with PTI while stressing that Indian cricket will never be devoid of talented players.

With 585 runs, Gill is now just 18 short of surpassing Rahul Dravid’s tally of 602 (in 2002) for the most runs by an Indian batter in a series in England. India bounced back in splendid fashion to win the Edgbaston Test by a dominant 336 runs and level the five-match series 1-1.
