Team India has been announced for the five -match Test series against England from 20 June, where Shubman Gill has been appointed as the new Test captain of India after Rohit Sharma’s retirement. There is a fierce response on social media, including many former and veteran players of India, who have expressed their reaction to Gill’s captaincy and Team India’s squad.
Let me tell you that this England tour of India is going to be important in many ways from where India will start the new cycle of the World Test Championship. Especially when there is no experienced players like Rohit and Virat in the team. In such a situation, the team will be reins on the young players.

Former Team India player Parthiv Patel has fully supported the BCCI over the decision to make Shubman Gill as captain and described the decision as quite powerful. At the same time, Parthiv Patel also believes that Gill is fully prepared to rule the new era of cricket. Former player Shikhar Dhawan, who is called Gabbar of Team India, congratulated Shubman Gill and expressed his hope that he will show a lot for Team India and will illuminate his country’s name.
If seen in this link, Harbhajan Singh also wished Gill completely lovingly looting him for the tour of England. In this sequence, former player Irfan Pathan has also given a chance to players like Shubman Gill as well as Sai Sudarshan, Arshdeep Singh and Karun Nair, who appeared to be realizing the dream of playing in the Test series against England. At the same time, he has congratulated Shubman Gill for the captaincy but he has also said that India will miss Mohammed Shami very much on this tour.
The path of captaincy will not be easy
Let me tell you that Shubman Gill has got the captaincy but the situation in England is considered difficult, where the Indian cricket team’s record was not good. Even though no one is suspicious of Gill’s talent, but his batting record has not yet appeared in Test cricket equivalent to his talent. The captaincy pressure is very large in which the career of the biggest legendary player is seen to end. This is the reason that Shubman Gill will have to prove himself here above all these pressure.
