Shubman gill new india test captain: Rohit Sharma has announced retirement from Test cricket on Wednesday. After this, the question on everyone’s tongue is that who will be the new captain of the Indian Test team? India’s next exam in Test cricket is England tour, which is going to start from June 20. A media report has revealed that the selection committee is considering making 25 -year -old Shubman Gill a new captain.
Sources quoting Hindustan Times have said that Shubman Gill may be the next captain of the Test team. However, this will be confirmed only after Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar met with high BCCI officials. The Indian team’s World Championship 2025-27 is starting from the Test series against England. In such a situation, it is not a shocking thing to make a young player a new captain.
This source made a big disclosure, saying, “Ideally you would like to make a player who can play all the matches of the series. Shubman is currently captaining in the IPL and has proved that he can face the pressure of captaincy on his shoulders. His undergraduate is performing well, Gill has done well as a captain and a batsman. He can take the team to new heights.”
Looking at Gill’s Test career, so far he has scored 1,893 runs in 32 Test matches at an average of 35.05. So far 5 centuries and 7 fifty have been released from his bat. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy was not proved good for Gill in which he was able to score only 93 runs in five innings.
