On the eve of the first T20I between India and Sri Lanka, the newly-appointed vice-captain of the side, Shubman Gill, opened up on playing and working under Gautam Gambhir. 

It will be Gambhir's first stint as India's head coach. The former India opener is known for his no-nonsense attitude, and the fans expect him to replicate his KKR success with Men in Blue.

Shubman Gill lauds Gambhir for his intent and communication

Meanwhile, Gill heaped praise on Gautam and remarked that it was his first interaction with Gambhir. The right-hand batter added that the newly-appointed head coach is clear about which player he wants to work with. 

"This is the first time I am working with him (Gambhir). But during those two net sessions, his intent and communication have been very clear. He is very clear about which player he wants to work with at a particular time and on which areas he wants to work with him," Gill told the media during a press meet here.

Gill also talked about Suryakumar Yadav and stated that both Gambhir and SKY have a similar style. 

"I think everybody is on the same page. I have played under Surya bhai, and I think both their (Gambhir and Suryakumar) way of communication and thinking is similar."

Ahead of the upcoming series, Indian side underwent personal changes, as SKY pipped Hardik to become next T20I captain until 2026, while Gill replaced Pandya. The inputs have been provided by PTI.
