Gill's captaincy quietly repositions Rohit and Kohli as senior professionals

Shubman Gill doesn't treat Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli as untouchables. He asks for their views in team meetings, then decides on batting order and selection himself.

He's backed those calls with quiet conviction and takes the heat when India lose. The approach marks a shift: India head into the West Indies series without Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah, and Gill is already planning around a side that won't rely on the two veterans as cornerstones.
