No place in playing 11 and Dream Captaincy, Shubman Gill's claim in question
Cricket News Desk. After the retirement of Rohit Sharma on May 7, there was a debate on the captaincy of the Indian Test team. The question is when will the announcement be made and who will be present in it? Everyone’s eyes are on this. Experts believed that Jaspreet Bumrah, who worked as Vice Captain, would replace Rohit. But the BCCI allegedly chose Shubman Gill as the next captain. However, former Indian cricketer Chris Srikanth did not like it. Chris Srikanth, not happy with Gill Captaincy, got the name of a new Captaincy contender and supported the same player in place of Virat Kohli at number 4 in the test series. Bumrah was left behind in the race due to back injury. Gill was selected as the next Test captain in his young age and limited team and his performance as captain of Gujarat Titans in the IPL. His first term is a tour in England in June. However, Srikanth is questioning this because he believes that Gill was not in a certain place in the XI playground. That’s why he supported Kl Rahul. The experienced Indian player also suggested that Bumrah and Rishabh should handle the captaincy. Shubman Gill Bcci’s choice to Rohit Sharma’s retirement is speculated by the Indian Test team captaincy. Everyone wants to know who the next captain will be and when it will be announced. Most people believed that Jaspreet Bumrah would become the captain. He won the team on the tour of Australia and was also the Vice captain. But the news comes that BCCI is considering making Shubman Gill a captain. Chris Srikanth does not agree with this. He continued the name of Kl Rahul for Captaincy. He says Rahul can also play at number 4 instead of Virat Kohli. Bumrah remains in the back of the Captaincy race due to a back injury. He also had problems with back pain during the Australian series in January. As a result, he was unable to play in the Champions trophy and the early IPL 2025. Shubman Gill is young and did well in white ball cricket. Srikanth said: “He is not even confident about Test cricket.” The captaincy must be given to Jaspreet Bumrah, and if he is not fit or unavailable for a match, Kl Rahul or Rishabh Pant India should lead. Who will bat at number 4? Srikanth said this in light of Gill’s poor performance in Australia. Gill is struggling in foreign stands. He scored in 12 innings at an average of just 19 and did not score a single half century. His average as opener is 31.54, but he has to struggle with the dux ball in England. He only scored 88 runs in six innings. The biggest concern for the team is who will play Virat Kohli at number 4. Kohli has acted brilliantly in this place for 12 years. This post has been vacant since his retirement. Srikanth believes Rahul is the right choice for this post. He said: “If we talk about the next number 4 of India, Kl Rahul should find the place for me.” He can become a strong player for India in Test cricket. They have the right technology and team management must give them this responsibility. Share this story -tags
