Shubman Gill Test captaincy : Why not Jashpreet Bumrah. Why did the inexperienced Shubhman Gil be the captain of the Indian Test team? This is the biggest practice in Indian cricket right now. A large part of the cricket palace does not seem to be suitable for the Indian Test team at all. Some again say, “He is not a regular member of the national team.” Although the legendary Aussie captain and Punjab Kings coach Ricky Ponting is talking the opposite. His statement, instead of Bumrah, the selectors made the right decision without captaining Gil. Gill is perfect to be captain.
Ponting is also arguing behind his speech that Ajit Agarkar, the chief of the selector. Ponting seems to be the biggest problem for fitness Bumrah. He says, “Bumrah’s injury has left him back. You don’t want anyone as captain who will rest playing a match.” In the words of the Punjab Kings coach, “I think this is the right decision. I know many scholars will say why Bumrah was not captain? But in my opinion, this is exactly a decision.”
According to the former Aussie captain, “When India has captured Gil, he should be given opportunity and time. It has just got a new team. It is not Ashwin, Rohit, Kohli. So Shubhma will have to give time.” Right now the Indian team is moving through a major change. However, Ponting thinks the special impact of that change will not have on India’s performance. Because Team India Reserve Bench is very strong.
It should be noted that India’s five -Test England series will begin on June 25. The first Test Leeds. The second Test in Edgbaston from July 2. The third Test at Lord’s will be from July 1. The fourth Test from July 25 at Old Trafford in Manchester. The last test is from July 7, Oval. This series is the first big Test of Gill as captain.
