‘Gill is not even a firm player in Test’, Srikanth told this player for captaincy
Rohit Sharma (Rohit Sharma) After retiring from Test cricket, the debate on who will now be the new captain has intensified. Meanwhile, former Team India opener Srikanth has said that Bumrah (Jasprit bumrah)) The captain should be made, not Shubman Gill (Shubman Gill) To. He has also advised KL Rahul to make a new Test number 4 batter after Virat.
On May 7, Rohit Sharma suddenly announced his retirement from Test cricket and now the question is, who will captain India against England in the next Test series? Shubman Gill’s name is leading in the reports, but India’s 1983 World Cup winner and former Chief Selector Krishnamachari Srikanth does not agree.
In an interview to Times of India, Srikanth clearly said, “Gill has not been able to confirm his place in the Test team. Captain Bumrah should get. If he is not fit for a match, Rahul or Rishabh Pant can be given the command of the team.”
Significantly, Bumrah was the vice -captain in the last Test series against Australia and also captained in two Tests. Not only this, after Virat Kohli retired from the Test on May 12, questions were also raised about India’s new number 4 batsman. Srikanth took the name of KL Rahul on this. He said, “Rahul also has experience and right technology. He should get a fixed role so that he can play that responsibility.”
Srikanth gave a passionate farewell to Virat, saying, “Virat was the real brand ambassador of Test cricket. He who played with passion and agreed was his specialty. The selectors should have captained him back, and he could play the next 2-3 years. Now we can just wish him.”
