Sunil Gavaskar believes that the IPL serves as an ideal platform for grooming future Indian captains like Shubman Gill, providing them with valuable leadership experience before they take on the highest level of competition.

Gavaskar acknowledges that it will take time for Gill, Rishabh Pant, and Shreyas Iyer to develop into polished leaders. He praises their different approaches to captaincy and highlights the competitiveness and positivity they bring to the table.
