Shubman Gill, the newly appointed Indian Test team captain, faced flak after losing the first Test when the Three Lions chased down 371 in the fourth innings to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. As Gill underwent a trial by fire, former England captain Nasser Hussain compared the 25-year-old with predecessors and stated that he "didn't quite have the on-field aura of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli".

Stating that Gill was more reactive rather than proactive, Hussain said, "I saw someone finding his way. He (Gill) didn't quite have that on-field aura of Rohit and Virat Kohli. I thought he followed the ball a lot and was reactive rather than proactive."

"When Rohit and Kohli captained, you looked down and you immediately knew who was in charge, but when I looked down in this game, I saw two or three captains, captaincy by committee," Hussain told Sky Sports.

Pointing out where India lost the game, he said, "The collapses concern me. In India they have had spin-bowling all-rounders that are magnificent - Ravi Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel - but in England they are still looking for a seam-bowling all-rounder who can bat.

"If they keep going 6-31 and 7-41 this could be a quick series," said the 57-year-old who played 96 Tests between 1990 and 2004.

Former India coach Ravi Shastri, however, feels that Gill has done "more than can be asked of him."

"There is a big role for the coaching staff to take the positives. As a captain, Gill has done more than can be asked of him.

"He got a hundred in his first Test in charge and the dropped catches (and collapses) are not in his control."
