The newly appointed Indian test captain SHUBMAN GILL should create a pack of wolves around him, said a former cricket Aakash Chopra. India SHUBman Gill flew to England to play a 5-match test series. This is the first time in many years that India will not have Rohit Sharma or Virt Kohli in cricket with a red ball.
Chopra, speaking in front of the bilateral series on Jiohotstar, said SHUBMAN needed to create a main group of 4-5 players who could believe to get entry. Chopra named Yashasvi Jaiswal, Kl Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj among possible candidates who could become a new leading group in the Indian team.
“Create a group of leaders – combining 4-5 players together and putting a core. Routines and circles -but with this new team have a chance to build a collective culture.
SHUBMAN SHOULD BE INSPIFIED VIRAT: Chopra
The Indian team will start its new World Championship championship with a series against England. In three WTC editions, India qualified twice, once under Virt Kohl and then under Rohit Sharma. India lost both finals, first against New Zealand in 2021 and then against Australia in 2023. In the 2025 edition of the Indian team unfortunately failed in the final two test series, one at home and the other away, which failed to qualify for the collision of the tournament.
There are uncertainty about Gill’s position of the captain of the test because the dough recently set its place in playing XI. Gill is only 25 years old and still ripens as a test dough. Chopra said that the dough could inspire Virat Kohli and find his own place in the order of batting, instead of feeling pressure to take place 4 that Kohli recently released.
“You can be inspired by the success of Virata Kohli, his hunger for running, his leadership – but not necessarily his launch. The team,” Chopra concluded.
It is still not known what the Indian team will be. It is expected that Kl Rahul and Yashsvi Jaiswal, who opened themselves in Trophy Border-Gavascar against Australia, will take the role again.
One of Karun Nair or Sai Sudhasan is expected to take role 3 in the team.
