Shubman Gill, captain of the Indian Test team, stabbed his bat on England tour. For the first time, Gill, who is captaining the Indian team, scored the most runs in the 5 -Test series in England, raining centuries. Along with his record -breaking performance in Batting, Gill also got the captaincy iron and forced England to draw a series. After this series, Gill will be seen again on the field in a few days. Gill has been appointed as the captain of the North Zone for the Dalip Trophy. But Gill will not be much time here and will be replaced by a batsman who knows few people in Indian cricket. This batsman is Shubham Rohilla.
After the successful tour of England, the entire Indian team is on break these days. There is no match for the Indian team for the next one month. But during this time, the domestic season is also starting, in which the Duleep Trophy tournament will be played first. Teams of 5 different zones will participate in this tournament, which will include most domestic players including some players of the Test team. In this tournament, the command of North Zone has been handed over to Shubman Gill. But the Asia Cup is to be held next month, in which Gill can be selected.
Shubham, who replaces Hangil?
In the team’s announcement by the North Zone, it has been made clear that if Gill is selected in Team India, Shubham will be included in the squad. Now the question is, who is Shubham Rohilla?
