“We have discussed every possibility that is there, in the last year we have looked at SHUBMAN at different times. We took a lot of feedback from the dressing room. Very young, but there was an improvement,” said Ajit Ajit Agarkar during the team announcement.“We hope he’s the guy. He’s a great player, our best wishes. You don’t choose the captains for one tour or two tours. We’ve seen some progress with him in the last year or two. There is no doubt that it will be so hard,” Agarkar added.Gill’s previous captain’s leadership includes leading India to win the 4-1 T20i series in Zimbabwe, serving as a more captain in the White-Ball team, which won the Masters 2025 trophy in Dubai.
