Shubman Gill’s biggest exam now starts, captaincy can only help

Shubman Gill was always lucky for greatness. Since his U19 days, Gill was in Indian cricket discretion, such as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. And now that the pair has retired, mental has fallen on the 25 -year shoulders. A young captain, Gill’s test begins in Leeds on Friday with the India vs England series.

Rajkumar Shubman Gill set to make the throne of King Virat Kohli successful

The India vs England range will be distinguished with the absence of Virat Kohli. Kohli has been a part of every England series since its debut, marking for more than a decade, India visited without its former captain. Now, Gill makes Kohli successful in his number 4 position, with the mantra of leadership.

It is a difficult task to follow it. Virat retired with 30 centuries and 9230 runs, serving the team for a decade. He took over from Sachin Tendulkar, who is the leading run-sheet in the format. Between Kohli and Sachin, India’s No. 4 has been fixed for about 3 decades, with a joint 81 centuries between them. Of course, both are 1 and 2 in the list of India’s biggest batsmen.

Gill is nowhere anywhere. He is an average of 35.05 in his short test career with 5 centuries. He has recently fought to hold a regular place to be demolished in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Gill started batting at his career, the top scoring in India’s famous victory in Gabba. He has moved to number 3 to replace Cheteshwar Pujara with mixed results. Now, a big exam is awaited.

Capture to get the best from Gill?

25 -year -old Shubman has played 32 Tests before taking over the captaincy. Kohli was 24 years old when he was handed over the reins, played 31 Tests. Before captaincy, Virat took an average of 41.13 over 7 centuries. However, in 68 tests as captain. Kohli broke 20 tonnes at an average of 54.80. India enjoyed its most successful magic in Test cricket under Kohli with a foreign win in Australia.

Gill will expect Virat to follow Virat when his captaincy career starts on Friday. Shubman enjoyed a good run as the captain of Gujarat Titans, taking him to the playoffs this year. Captain did not impress his batting, scoring more than 1000 runs jointly in the last 2 sessions. They scored 8 fifties and a century in 27 innings, and while the hardness of Test cricket is different, Gill is not a stranger for responsibility.

India’s best batsman has traditionally ranked number 4 in Test cricket. Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli were gatekeepers for more than 3 decades. From Friday, Gill has a chance to join those legends and make his name in history. Some test win on the way will undoubtedly help.
