Shubman Gill Test Captaincy Debut : When the Indian captain Shubman Gill descends for the toss on Friday at the Handingley Cricket Stadium, every Indian fan must be looking at them. This will begin the beginning of Shubman Gill in Indian Test cricket. For the first time, he will be seen captaining Team India in Test cricket. But apart from this, Gill will also be eyeing whom he gives place in the playing XI. In particular, who will get a chance for that position, the answer was not available to Team India until a day earlier.
For the first match of the five -Test series, the examination for Team India, which has been preparing in England for the last several days, has now come. This examination will also start from Friday 20 June. But a day before that Team India captain Shubman Gill talked about preparations, plans to win the series and team combination. Gill gave clear answers to some questions during this period, but on a question, the Indian captain just said that he has not been able to take any decision on it yet.
This is the same question that cricket fans have been asking continuously for the last one month- who will bat on number-3? When there was a question about the batting order in the press conference, Captain Gill said, “We will once again see the pitch and then take a decision on number-3.” That is, it is clear that despite practicing in England for the last about 11 days, Team India did not find a solution to this puzzle till one day before the match. For this position, Team India has contenders like Sai Sudarshan, Abhimanyu Ishwar and Karun Nair, in which Sudarshan is seen in the strongest position.
After the press conference, Shubman Gill was really seen testing the pitch with coach Gautam Gambhir. However, what they decided will be known only during the toss. In such a situation, it is going to be quite interesting that the pair of Gill and Gambhir gives a chance to number three. By the way, Gill definitely said that after the retirement of Virat Kohli, his coach was talked to Gambhir for number-4 and it was decided that the Indian captain himself would handle this position.
