News India Live, Digital Desk: Indian Cricket Team: Who will handle the captaincy of the Indian Test team after Rohit Sharma? This question is in the mind of every cricket fan. Amidst this big debate, former head coach of Team India Ravi Shastri has given his reply. He has placed his biggest bet on young batsman Shubman Gill, not anyone else and has strongly advocated to make BCCI a captain.
Why did Shastri choose Gill’s name?
Ravi Shastri believes that the time has come to think about BCCI future and prepare Shubman Gill as the next captain. He not only took the name of Gill, but has also suggested a complete plan. Shastri wants BCCI Gill to make up his mind to make the captain for at least 3 years and give him complete freedom to lead the team without any pressure.
Recalling his old days, Shastri said that when he was made captain at a young age, the selectors had shown confidence in him. They want the same with Gill to be the same so that he can enhance his captaincy.
Not worried about bad form, trust in ‘x-factor’
It is true that for some time, Shubman Gill’s bat has not been as expected in Test cricket and questions have also been raised about his captaincy. But Ravi Shastri is not troubled by these things at all. They say that the form keeps on coming, but she has it “X-factor” Is, which is in a great player and captain. He is confident that Gill is fully prepared for this challenge.
Not only Gill, Pant and Bumrah are also in the race
Shastri also made it clear that 2-3 more players like Rishabh Pant and Jaspreet Bumrah should also be prepared in the leadership group, not only Gill, but also in the leadership group. With this, the team will have many strong options for the future. He indicated that the next domestic Test series against England could be the best opportunity to start this major change.
Overall, Ravi Shastri’s message is clear – make the future plan from now and show confidence in young players like Shubman Gill, as he will take Team India forward.
