After a long time, the era of a completely new and young captain is starting in Indian cricket. Test series against England is going to be the first stop of Shubman Gill and his youth team’s journey in Indian cricket. The decision of how long this journey will last will be decided by the results coming on the field. But not only the results, but how the team plays cricket, they will also decide the future of Gill and his team. But with what thinking will the team play their cricket? The answer to this question has also been received from Gill and the answer is- ‘Wait’.
A day before the 5 match series starting with the Handingley Test, the new Indian captain Shubman Gill spoke to the media and answered his questions. While most of the questions were related to issues like playing XI, Batting Position, Lack of veteran players, one of the most different questions came from the British journalist. This journalist wanted to know from Gill that under his captaincy, which approach or brand would go to play cricket?
Why was such a question done with Shubman Gill?
Actually, the real reason for this question was something else. The British media has been drunk with ‘Badball’ for the last 3 years. The pair of Ben Stokes and Brandon McCallum have inspired the English team to play aggressive cricket in Test cricket, which has also received a lot of applause and many times unnecessary hyp. In such a situation, the British journalist also wanted to know whether the Indian team would also play cricket under their captaincy. On this, the young Indian captain smiled lightly without any light and said- ‘Wait till August’.
“You’re going to have to wait until August to see what kind of style it’s going to be” 👀⏳

Series will end in August
The manner in which the Indian captain responded was clearly visible from his confidence. At the same time, he also thwarted the efforts of English media to unnecessarily pay attention to ‘Bazball’ with his short reply. Now what kind of cricket Team India plays, then it will be known only with every match of the series and what kind of cricket will it be, its decision will be done in Gill’s words, in August. The series starting from June 20 will run till 4 August 2025.
