Shubman Gill captaincy questioned : Dinesh Karthik has questioned the captaincy of the new captain of the Indian Test team Shubman Gill ahead of the five -match Test series against England. According to Dinesh Karthik, Shubman Gill has not yet realized the responsibility of the Indian Test team. The former player has also made a special appeal to Gill before this Test series. The 5 match Test series starts from June 20. Shubman Gill will be seen captaining the Indian Test team for the first time.
Dinesh Karthik said big thing
Dinesh Karthik said on the podcast of Sky Sports Cricket, ‘First the suggestions that I want to give to Shubman Gill is that he should captain only while fielding. When he is batting, there should be nothing else in his mind. Gill pay attention to his batting. This is also because if they want respect in the dressing room, then it is very important for the Indian player to score runs. His average as a batsman in South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia is quite bad and he also knows this.
Dinesh Karthik further said, ‘I don’t think Shubman Gill must have understood that it is a very big thing to get a test captaincy. Also, he will captain the team in England where India’s record has not been so good in the recent past. But the positive thing with them is that the bowling of the host is not as strong and it is very important for all the players to pressurize them. England’s batting can put pressure on the Indian bowlers but Team India will also have to bat against the host bowlers.
First Test starting from 20 June
The Test match is starting before June 20. Team India is practicing fiercely for this Test series and they can be seen performing a bang. Shubman Gill will also have to show power in batting. The first Test match will be played at Leeds Stadium from 20 June to 25 June.
