Indian cricket is now entering a new era. Veterans like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have said goodbye to Test cricket and now the new young captain is ready to lead the team. It is being talked about Shubman Gill who will captain the Indian team from the Leeds Test against England. However, even before the commencement of this match, former Indian head coach and famous commentator Ravi Shastri has given a big warning to Shubman Gill. Shastri has cautioned Gill that this series will not be easy for him.
Shastri warns Gill
Talking on the ICC review, Shastri said that the tour of England will not be easy for captain Gill. He said that captaining India in UK is not an easy task. Shastri advised the new Indian captain to take his time. According to Shastri, Gill will definitely learn a lot from this experience. Shastri said, ‘I believe take your time. This will not be easy. He has been assigned a difficult task, which is to captain India on the tour of England. In addition, Shastri praised Gill’s calm and restrained attitude. He said that he was greatly impressed by Gill’s nature in IPL 2025. Shubman took Gujarat Titans to the Eliminator and emerged as one of the best captains of the season.
Gill pressure for batting and captaincy
Gill will not only have to handle the captaincy pressure, but also perform well with the bat. On Wednesday, vice-captain Rishabh Pant confirmed that Shubman will bat in the first Test at number 4 instead of Virat Kohli. After the disappointing series against Australia, Gill will now expect to perform well with the bat in England. However, England knows about Gill’s weakness against these swings and it is confirmed that there will be an attempt to take advantage of it here.
