Official: Meet The New Captain Of India!

It is already known that Rohit Sharma, the full-time captain of the Indian national men’s team, retired from the Test format about a week ago. This announcement came just before the start of the England series, sparking much anticipation about who would lead the team next.

Now, the latest communication from Team India confirms that the appointment of the new captain is very much along expected lines: Shubman Gill has been announced as the new captain of the Indian Test team.

The official statement from the BCCI confirms that Gill will take charge of the Test side, marking a new chapter in Indian Test cricket. This transition from the era of Rohit and Kohli is expected to be of significant importance.

However, Gill faces no easy challenge, as England’s conditions have historically been difficult for Indian batsmen. It is crucial for him to get off to a strong start in his Test captaincy career.

Squad:
Shubman Gill (C), Rishabh Pant (VC & WK), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav
