Why Shubman Gill Could Be India's Next Test Captain

With Rohit Sharma retiring from Test cricket, spotlight is building around Shubman Gill who is currently his deputy in white-ball formats & likely to be elevated as the next red-ball captain.

Selectors back Shubman Gill’s leadership to build a young core as the new WTC cycle approaches.

Shubman Gill has emerged as one of the prime candidate to lead India in the upcoming five-Test series against England, marking a possible new chapter in the team’s leadership.

The Ajit Agarkar-led selection panel is reportedly charting a long-term leadership transition to ensure stability and continuity in the Test setup. With Bumrah unlikely to feature in all five Tests, selectors aim to groom a younger captain under Gautam Gambhir’s mentorship.
