Rishabh Pant is lively, Shubman Gill calm: Shardul Thakur
As the Indian cricket team gears up for the crucial England Test series, there has been a lot of buzz around the team’s leadership duo, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. While both players have been making headlines with their impressive performances in recent times, there is a significant difference in their approach to the game, according to Team India’s all-rounder Shardul Thakur.
In an exclusive interview with RevSportz, Shardul Thakur talked about the team’s vice-captain, Rishabh Pant and captain Shubman Gill. According to Thakur, the two players are poles apart in terms of their personality and approach to the game. “They are very different in character, where Shubman is very serious and calm, a composed kind of person when it comes to the game, and Rishabh is a funny and lively guy,” said Thakur.
Gill, who made his Test debut in 2021, has been impressive with his calm and composed nature. Despite being a young player, he has shown remarkable maturity and leadership skills, which has earned him the respect of his teammates and opponents alike. On the other hand, Pant, who has been India’s vice-captain in Tests, is known for his aggressive and flamboyant style of play. He has been a game-changer for the team with his explosive batting and wicket-keeping skills.
Thakur, who has played with both players, has a unique perspective on their personalities. “Shubman is a very serious and focused guy, always preparing for the game. He is very calm and composed, which helps him to stay focused even under pressure. On the other hand, Rishabh is a funny and lively guy, always cracking jokes and keeping the atmosphere light,” said Thakur.
Despite their different personalities, Thakur believes that both players are crucial to India’s success in the Test format. “They are both big players and the future of India. Shubman has shown a lot of promise with his batting and leadership skills, while Rishabh is a match-winner with his explosive batting and wicket-keeping skills. We need both of them to perform well if we want to do well in the Test series,” said Thakur.
Thakur also talked about the importance of having a good leader in the team. “A good leader is someone who can bring the best out of his teammates. Shubman has been doing a great job as captain, and I’m sure he will continue to do so. As for Rishabh, he is an excellent vice-captain who can provide valuable inputs to the captain and the team,” said Thakur.
The Indian team will be looking to build on their impressive performance in the recent past, where they have won several Test series and have been playing some exciting cricket. With Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant leading the team, India will be looking to make a strong statement in the upcoming England Test series.

We need them to perform well if we want to do well in the series. I’m sure they will both be up for the challenge and will make a significant contribution to the team’s success,” said Thakur.
