Gill Named India Test and ODI Captain

News summary

Shubman Gill has been elevated to India’s Test and ODI captain and named T20 vice-captain as part of a Border–Gavaskar reshuffle that signals a generational transition. Selectors framed the move as long-term planning for the 2027 ODI World Cup while keeping experienced leaders Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli involved as they step back from some formats. Gill said conversations with Sachin Tendulkar, Steve Smith and Kane Williamson helped fix a long‑standing technical issue and mentally prepare him for overseas conditions. He then produced a record‑breaking England tour, scoring 754 runs in five Tests with four centuries and finishing as the series’ leading run‑scorer as India drew the five‑match series 2–2. India have a run of ODIs, including a series in Australia, to prepare for South Africa 2027, and Gill has carried his form into his first home Test as captain, reinforcing selectors’ confidence in his leadership.
