Shubman Gill Poised to Succeed Rohit as Test Captain

Rohit Sharma has officially retired from Test cricket, closing a major chapter and creating a leadership opening ahead of India's five-Test series against England. Rohit, who will remain as ODI captain, reflected on the challenges and gratitude of his captaincy journey. With Jasprit Bumrah ruled out of regular Test captaincy because of fitness and workload issues, 25-year-old Shubman Gill is the leading candidate for the role. Gill's selection is favored due to his consistent performances and leadership experience in the IPL and international T20s. The BCCI and selection committee are expected to announce the decision soon as India targets stability and long-term planning for the new World Test Championship cycle. This transition marks a generational shift in India's Test leadership.
