India Test Cricket Team Captain Shubman Gill: After the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, everyone was waiting for the announcement of the Indian cricket team for the tour of England. At the same time, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced Team India for the tour of England on Saturday, May 24. The board has prepared a youth team in view of the next World Test Championship (WTC). With this announcement, Shubman Gill has been made the captain of the Indian Test team.
Shubman Gill received this advice
Shubman Gill is receiving congratulations on one side for becoming the captain of India’s Test team. At the same time, former Indian cricketers are also giving advice to the new captain of the team. Former cricketer Mohammad Kaif has shared a video for Shubman Gill on his X account and in this video, Kaif has advised Gill to talk to Ajinkya Rahane.
Mohammad Kaif’s advice
Mohammad Kaif said that Shubman Gill will captain against England for the first time. It is difficult for any player to do good captaincy along with better batting. But Gill has shown this by doing so in this IPL season. Gill’s bat is also going on in IPL and they are also doing well.
Mohammad Kaif further said that people are also lower expectations from the new team that this team will not be able to perform well. But here Shubman Gill has a chance to become a hero. Kaif told for Gill that when Ajinkya Rahane took the youth team in Australia, the young team defeated Australia in Australia under Rahane’s captaincy. So Rahane should talk with a call, because Rahane did a great job then. Now Gill will have to do the same work.
Big challenge for Shubman Gill
Mohammad Kaif said that the biggest challenge for Shubman Gill will be the fitness of Jaspreet Bumrah. Kaif said that Bumrah was not made vice-captains because he will not be able to play all the matches in the 5-match Test series. At the same time, Gill will have to manage Bumrah according to his own.
