Shubman's 269: A monument to Tinku's unfinished dream
1 2 3 4 5 6 M ohali: In the sweltering Mohali sun, surrounded by a sea of yellow jerseys and the laughter of young cricketers, stands a man whose eyes glisten, not from the heat, but from pride. Sukhwinder Singh Tinku watches over his students with the quiet satisfaction of a man who has turned heartbreak into hope. Thousands of miles away, his most gifted protégé, Shubman Gill , has just etched his name into cricketing history. Shubman's majestic 269 at Edgbaston didn't just break records, it broke barriers. It's now the highest Test score by an Indian captain, surpassing Virat Kohli's unbeaten 254. But behind that towering knock lies a story of grit, loss, and redemption — one that began not in England, but on the dusty grounds of Punjab. Tinku's own cricketing dreams once soared high. A Under-19 World Cup player, a trainee at the MRF Pace Foundation, and a stint in Australia — all signs pointed to a bright future. But fate had other plans. A knee injury on a matting wicket, followed by the sudden death of his father, brought his world crashing down. With no money for treatment, his dreams dissolved into pain and silence. But Tinku didn't stay down. He clawed his way back into the Ranji circuit, defying doctors and odds alike. Then, in a cruel twist, a casual game of football during a rain delay ended it all. Another fall. Another injury. This time, it was final. He handed his coach the ball and walked away — not just from the game, but from a dream. For two years, he wandered in a fog of despair. Until one day, he saw children playing cricket outside a school. Something stirred. He offered a few tips. They listened. That spark lit a fire. If he couldn't live his dream, he would help others chase theirs. From borrowed balls and dusty fields, a coaching legacy was born. Among the first to catch his eye was an eight-year-old with fierce focus and a bat that spoke volumes — Shubman Gill. "I told everyone then — he'll lead India one day," Tinku says, his voice tinged with both pride and prophecy. Gill's rise didn't surprise him. "He never threw away his wicket. Even as a kid, he learned from every mistake, without being told," Tinku recalls. "That discipline, that hunger is still there." Tinku's coaching mantra is deceptively simple: "Playing for India isn't tough if you learn the right technique and practice sincerely." Many laughed. But his students didn't. And some of them — like Manpreet Gony, Gurkeerat Mann, Sunny Sohal, and Simi Singh — went on to represent nations across the globe. Still, Shubman remains special. Tinku chuckles at a memory. "Once, Shubman disappeared for 10 days. When he returned, I asked where he'd been. He said, 'I went home.' I told him, 'Then go home.' And he actually started walking away! I had to send someone to bring him back. That's how innocent he was." From a paper packet in his bag, Tinku pulls out old photographs — faded snapshots of young boys with big dreams. Some are now stars, others lost to time. But to Tinku, each face is a chapter in a story of resilience. As Shubman raised his bat in Edgbaston, the world saw a record. Tinku saw a reflection of a dream once broken, now reborn in the hands of a boy who never forgot where he came from.

Crafted, not crowned: In a world of prodigies and fighters, Shubman Gill quietly carves his own path to India's top job
There's one major point of difference between two of India's greatest match-winners in Tests. They played at almost the same time, in a wide variety of conditions, had long careers, both came back from career-threatening injuries that needed surgery, and led India … did it all, basically. Anil Kumble was told very early on that he simply should not bowl. That his action was illegal, that he was too fast through the air, too tall to flight the ball, turned it too little to be a genuine spinner. At every step of the way, he had to prove to his peers and those who picked teams and coached them that he belonged. The only language Kumble knew was success. By taking wickets and winning games, he carved out his place in the cricketing ecosystem, in the Indian scheme of things and eventually the hall of fame. Ridicule and scepticism followed him around, and at every turn, Kumble the outsider had to come good. Sachin Tendulkar was born to play cricket. He batted like an angel when curly hair framed his cherubic face, stood up to older boys and men, bowled medium pace and spin, fielded anywhere he was asked to, hell, he could even bowl and bat with either hand. From when he was a tot, Tendulkar was earmarked, destined for greatness. As surely as one day follows another, Tendulkar hit the milestones and checked the boxes: big runs in school cricket, centuries on debut in Ranji Trophy, Duleep, Irani … anything that mattered till rules and mindsets had to change to accept that a teenager was ready to conquer the world. The pressures Tendulkar faced were no less. At no stage was anything other than pure success accepted. There was no option to fall down and pick himself up. Tendulkar simply had to grow into every single expectation placed on him. Nobody knows quite how he managed it while retaining his sanity, but Tendulkar did just that, perfectly executing the script that seemed to have been writte for him. Shubman Gill did not come from either schools, but he would soon discover that he had the best and worst of both these worlds. There was no doubting his skill as a young adult, and his silken touch and method marked him down as the next real thing from the Indian school of batsmanship. Not the shiny new one that produces young stars from nowhere who have a massive impact in Twenty20 cricket through their fearlessness and innovation, but the old assembly line that churned out high-quality batsmen of a traditional mould. Gill leaned into his slot, taking his place among modern greats like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, quietly making a spot his own. Gill was never going to displace one of these: he was just not that sort of personality and his game was not built on explosive uniqueness. There was no singular defining characteristic to his batting: not that ace cover drive, not a gun pull shot, not a scoop or fiddle named after him. But he was the complete package. Gill watched the ball, brought years of finely honed technique to bear, gave respect to the bowler and the situation and the conditions, placed a huge premium on protecting his wicket, and found a way to score runs. This is the template for batsmen from the Indian school of batsmanship if they want to win universal approval. And you need that if you want to rise to the Test captaincy. It is no coincidence that India choose their best batsmen for leadership roles. Someone such as MS Dhoni is an outlier in this, but typically, the long-term leader of men is a solid, dependable batsman who ideally plays all formats of cricket, is clean-shaven and well-spoken and gives being rebellious or original a wide berth. Gill is all of that, but he is not only that. At first, it was unclear what his best format was, and he had to become boss of one to get enough leeway in another. When some success came, there was an impatience for him to take it to the next level because, well, Indian cricket had bigger plans for him. In that sense, there was an air of inevitability to his ascension to the top job. But he was handed a team in transition on arguably the toughest away assignment and a bowling attack that was heavily dependent on one bowler who could not play all the time. Gill's first port of call was to show he was worthy. True to the tale, Gill earned the crown that he never quite coveted, growing swiftly into a role not meant for those who shy from a scrap. He looks the part, talks the talk, and now has the runs to lead from the front. It's worth remembering here, too, that he is his own man. When the farmers' protests swept across India, and celebrities of every hue stayed conspicuously quiet, Gill didn't forget his roots from a village in Punjab, or abandon the way of life that fed this country. He didn't distance himself from the issue when his family openly backed the farmers. That is called integrity, choosing principle over convenience when all that was needed was to stay quiet and not ruffle the feathers of the establishment. It's exactly what you want in a leader, whether he got there via red carpet, rough road or his own way
