Shubman Gill Appointed India Test Captain Following Sharma, Kohli Retirements

Shubman Gill has been appointed as India's new Test captain, taking over after the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, marking a new era for Indian cricket. At 25 years old, Gill aims to develop his own leadership style focused on communication and making players feel secure to perform at their best. He emphasizes leading by example through his batting, preferring not to follow a specific captaincy style but to adapt and grow with experience. Gill was chosen over other contenders like Jasprit Bumrah, who will have a managed workload during the upcoming five-Test series in England starting June 20. The Indian team is preparing with intra-squad matches and training camps to finalize batting positions and strategies for the challenging tour. The transition reflects both the pressure and opportunity for Gill to establish himself as a leader while nurturing the team's strengths.
