KL RAHUL AND SHUBMAN GILL (AFP PHOTO) New Delhi: As India is preparing for the appointment of a new test captain, while revealing a group for a decisive series of five matches in England, the former goalie heel Saba Karim threw their support for SHUBMAN GILL. On the other hand, the former main selector Kiran more believes that Kl Rahul is a better choice to lead the party.After retiring Rohit Sharma from the test cricket at the beginning of this month, Gill became one of the leading candidates for a role. Rahul, who had previously captained Captain Captain, is also firmly in the interview, especially due to his consistent presence in the red ball settings.Other names that make the wheels include Pacehead Jasprit Bumrah-Kirty led India in three tests-and wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant. However, Bumhrah may not be available for all five tests in England, while Pant, despite his impressive record abroad, could instead be a strong candidate for more captain.Also see: India Test Squad Notifications“You have SHUBMAN GILL, KL RAHUL and RISHABH PANT.

I don’t want to put too much pressure on SHUBMAN GILL. He hasn’t done enough in the test cricket yet.“Leave it growth-free can be a vice-president for a year or two. For now, KL Rahul is the right choice. He has experience, temperament and communication skills needed to guide,” he added.The Indian Test series with a high proportion against England, which is part of the World Championship cycle in testing 2025–27, will take place from 20 to 4 August.
