Yuvraj Singh’s father Yograj has credited his son to guide Shubman Gill to become the next Indian Test captain
Former Indian cricketer Yograj Singh has claimed that it was due to Yuvraj Singh’s efforts that Shubman Gill became India Test captain. On Saturday, chief selector Ajit Agkar confirmed that Punjab batsman would be the successor of Rohit Sharma as the squad was announced for the England series. Gill became the 37th captain to lead an Indian side.
Gill captain because of Yuvraj?
Talking to news agency Annie, Yograj claimed that the credit for Gill becoming captain goes to his father and Yuvraj. Dubbing his son as a “great cricket brain”, Yograj claimed that Gill had become and became captains for a long time, who would essentially be a long -time captain due to the guidance of Yuva.
,If Gill has become captain today and will last long, then Yuvraj Singh will play and play a great role in it. Someone like Yuvraj, the world’s largest cricketing brain, taking Gill under his wing is a big thing.“Yogaj said.
Gill never led the Red-Ball side in the past, although he captured the T20I side in a series against Zimbabwe. He is currently leading GT in IPL 2025.
,You do not choose captain for 1-2 tourism. You want to invest in something that is going to help us move forward. We have seen some progress in them in the last 2 years. There is no doubt, it is going to be difficult to do 5 match series in England. Maybe we have to learn a little on the job, but we are very confident and that is why we are picking it up“Agkar said at the press conference on 24 May.
