Shikhar Dhawan said that Shubman Gill is the right man for the job, and he has the ability to take the Indian team forward in the longest format of the game.
Just ahead of the India tour of England, Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from Test cricket, which forced the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection committee to appoint a new captain.
Reports claimed that Jasprit Bumrah, who was the Test vice-captain under Rohit Sharma, had himself withdrawn from the captaincy race.
His first challenge as the leader is the five-match Test series against Ben Stokes-led England, which will commence with a game in Leeds on June 20. The second Test will be played at Edgbaston, Birmingham, from July 2–6, and the third Test will be played at Lord’s, London, from July 10–14. Old Trafford, Manchester, will host the fourth Test from July 23–27, and the fifth and final Test will be held at The Oval (Kia Oval), London, from July 31 to August 4.
