Shubman gill: The Indian team will go to England and play a five -match Test series under the leadership of Shubman Gill. The team of Team India has left for the upcoming series. The BCCI gave information about this by sharing pictures on social media.
Gill will be seen captaining for India for the first time. However, in the eyes of former Indian opener Virender Sehwag, this decision is not correct. He talked about making another player a captain instead of Gill.
Last month, the new Test captain of Team India was announced. The post was lying vacant after Rohit Sharma retired from the test. After him, Shubman Gill was given this big responsibility. Apart from him, the names of Rishabh Pant and Jaspreet Bumrah were also coming out in the race of captaincy.
However, Gill was successful in hitting the bet. The 25 -year -old batsman has played 32 Test matches for India. In which he has scored 1893 runs in 59 innings at an average of 35. Which includes 5 centuries and 7 half -centuries.
Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has expressed his disagreement over the making Shubman Gill the next Test captain of India. Talking to a sports website, he said, “Bumrah is fine for a series. But as an alternative for a long time, you need to ask that if India plays 10 Tests in a year, will it be able to play in all those matches?
