As captain, Shubman Gill will face 3 big challenges in England!
Finally, Team india has been announced for the england tour and Shubman Gill has become the new Test captain. rishabh pant has been appointed vice-captain. This will be the first time after a very long time that Team india will be playing a Test match without rohit sharma and Virat Kohli. Gill has become one of the youngest Test captains of India. Here you know about the 3 biggest challenges that captain Shubman Gill may have to data-face.
1. It is difficult to replace Rohit Sharma
When a legend like virat kohli praises the talent of a player. At the same time, India's veteran umpire anil chaudhary has also praised Rohit's captaincy mindset. Under Rohit's captaincy, Team india is coming back after winning the 2024 t20 World Cup, 2025 Champions Trophy. Under his captaincy, india has also played the 2023 wtc final and 2023 ODI World Cup. Given such a brilliant captaincy record, it will be very difficult for 25-year-old Shubman Gill to replace him immediately.
2. At what position will Gill bat
The biggest question is at what position will Shubman Gill himself bat. After Cheteshwar Pujara was dropped, he was playing at number-3. Now after Rohit Sharma's retirement, the opening batting slot has become vacant. Will Gill open or will he continue to bat at number three. The answer to this question can be found in the form of Sai Sudarshan. Gill should continue batting at number-3 and Sai sudarshan can prove to be a better option as Rohit Sharma's replacement.
3. Who will replace Virat Kohli?
With Virat Kohli's retirement in the Test team, the number-4 slot in batting has also become vacant. KL rahul can be an option, who has experience of opening as well as batting in the middle order. Karun Nair bats at number-4 in domestic cricket and is coming in Ranji Trophy 2024-25 with 863 runs in 9 matches at an average of around 54. At the same time, sarfaraz khan also has a lot of experience of batting in the middle order.
