The towering presence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the Indian ODI team can only help newly-appointed captain Shubman Gill grow as a leader, said left-arm spinner Axar Patel here on Friday. Gill has succeeded Rohit as ODI captain despite the latter taking India to the Champions Trophy title.

“For Gill, it’s perfect, Rohit Bhai and Virat Bhai are there, and along with that, they have been captains, so they can give their input also, so it is very good growth of Gill’s captaincy,” said Axar in a joint interaction with Australian opener Travis Head.
