Ravichandran Ashwin talked about the duo days before the commencement of the five-match Test series between India and England, which will be the first assignment of the new leadership group of Team India.
Gill was chosen as the successor of Rohit Sharma as Test captain after he retired, and the star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant was handed the vice-captaincy.
So far, Gill has featured in 32 Test matches for the India National Cricket Team and has scored 1893 runs at a poor average of 35, with five centuries and seven fifties.
Fantastic Test batter with a questionable choice of shots - Ravichandran Ashwin on Rishabh Pant
In an interview with RevSportz, Ravichandran Ashwin labeled Rishabh Pant as a 'high-quality' Test batsman who can walk into the team as a pure batter without depending on his wicket-keeping skills.
"I think Rishabh is a high-quality Test batsman. He can just walk into that team as a pedigree Test batsman even if he does not have to hold on to the gloves. Fantastic Test batter with a questionable choice of shots sometimes, but I guess he comes with it and he gives you match-winning knocks.
I think he is already too overwhelmed by the attention - Ravichandran Ashwin
While talking about Shubman Gill, Ravichandran Ashwin said that the newly-appointed Test captain is too overwhelmed by the attention he is getting after taking over the top job in Indian cricket.
"About Shubman Gill, I think he is already too overwhelmed by the attention and responsibility he has got. If I was in his place with such a high-pressure job, I would want to have a very good start as a batsman.
"As a batter, he will have his share of questions on his place, as England can be a very tough place to bat. But if he makes runs, runs will give confidence and that would in turn rub on to captaincy. He is a very special player, and I hope he gets off to a very good start to avoid any questions raised. But I think Rishabh goes into the series with a lot more certainty than Shubman."
