Nasar Hussain has now supported Shubman Gill after the Edgbaston Test
Nasir Hussain criticized Gill’s captaincy after the end of the first trial in Headingley. He said:
“I thought I saw someone just looking for my way, honestly. You have been very careful in the first Test match, people who have taken him, Kohli, and then Rohit Sharma.
However, after winning the Edgbaston Test, Hussain has welcomed Shubman Gill’s ‘cool and composition’ attitude on the field during his entire time on the field as captain in Edgbaston, marking his gap with Virat Kohli’s captaincy.
He said, “He is always calm and composed. You just listened to that interview. He has got a very low heartbeat. So he is not a character of Kohli-type. He has found less heartbeat, but it can help,” he said on sky sports.
The former English player said, “Look at this crowd here today. Look at everyone of India. You may need someone to calm the team.”
Nasar Hussain also appreciated the end-swap of Akash Deep, called it ‘Mastrstroke’
During the proceedings of 5 on the second Test day, Indian captain Shubman Gill made a controversial call as he asked his most successful bowler of the game, Akash Deep, to swap with a new ball despite taking two wickets from the same end.
The end of the sky deep gave a shock to Nasir Hussain, as no captain would have thought so, but Gill made a shocking change of the ends. Akash Deep took four more wickets, as he bowled from this end and ended the innings with six wickets in Edgbaston.
“He did some subtle things that we will not do. Akash bowled beautifully at this end.

The Indian captain has been praised for his strategic move by Nasir Hussain on a large scale; He has been told that some help is needed from fellow seniors like Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul, but despite all, they are considered the captain of the next generation for India due to their attitude.
Shubman Gill scored a pile of runs, as he has scored 430 runs in the match, followed by a double -century score in the first innings and 161 in the second innings of the game.
The former England veteran said, “The most important thing is to get the run. This is his number one job, and he has got a shed load of the run.”
