Shubman Gill’s biggest test starts now, the captain may well help

Shubman Gill was still intended for greatness. Since his days U19, Gill has been in the Indian Cricket Consciousness, just like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. And now that the duo has retired, the coat fell on the 25 -year -old shoulders. A young captain, Gill’s test begins with the India VS England series from Friday in Leeds.

Prince Shubman Gill should succeed King Kohli’s throne

The India VS England series will be visible with the absence of Virat Kohli. Kohli has been part of each series of England since its beginnings, marking more than a decade since India has shot without its former captain. Now Gill succeeds Kohli in his position n ° 4, alongside the leadership mantle.

It is a difficult act to follow. Virat retired with 30 centuries and 9,230 points, serving the team for a decade. He took over from Sachin Tendulkar, which is the main run-detained in the format. Between Kohli and Sachin, India No. 4 has been settled for almost 3 decades, with 81 centuries combined with each other. The duo is undoubtedly 1 and 2 on a list of the biggest drummers in India.

Gill is still far from near. He has an average of 35.05 in his short test career, with 5 centuries. He had trouble keeping a regular place on the side, even recently abandoned in the Border-Gavaskar trophy. Gill began his career by opening up the high -end striker in the famous victory of India at Gabba. He has since passed at n ° 3 to replace Chetehwar Pujara with mixed results. Now a more important test awaits you.

The captain to get the most out of Gill?

Shubman, 25, played 32 tests before assuming the captain. Kohli was 24 years old when he received the reins, having played 31 tests. Before the captain, Virat was on average 41.13, with 7 centuries. However, in the 68 tests as a captain. Kohli broke 20 tonnes, with an average of 54.80. India appreciated their most successful fate in Test Cricket under Kohli, with victories abroad in Australia.

Gill hopes to imitate Virat when his captain career will begin on Friday. Shubman experienced a good race as a skipper of Gujarat Titans, leading them to the playoffs this year. The captain did not affect his striker, marking more than 1000 points combined in the last 2 seasons. He marked 8 fifty and a century in 27 rounds, and although the rigors of test cricket are different, Gill is not unrelated to responsibility.

The best striker in India has traditionally held place n ° 4 in test cricket. Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli were guards of this for more than 3 decades. From Friday, Gill has a chance to join these legends and make a name for himself in history. Some test victories along the way will of course help.
