India are all set to embark on a new journey under the new Test captain, Shubman Gill, who doesn’t have that impressive overseas red-ball record. Despite this, Panesar overlooked England’s white-ball captain Harry Brook and predicted that Gill would have a brighter future in Test cricket.
Monty Panesar was quoted as saying by InsideSport: “Shubman Gill. Gill has a better future in Test cricket, and I really hope his numbers get better once he is appointed the captain of Team India.”
Meanwhile, in a comparison between modern-day greats, Monty picked Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli over England’s batting icon Joe Root as the better batsman. The former England cricketer said that Kohli’s presence and influence in the game were the reasons behind his pick.

On the other hand, Panesar praised James Anderson for performing consistently across different conditions and noted that his overall impact made him a better Test bowler than Jasprit Bumrah. Anderson had a glorious Test career. The England legend is the third-most successful bowler in the longest format, with 704 wickets at an average of 26.45 in 188 Tests.
He has named Sachin Tendulkar as the greatest Indian batter ever. The Englishman added, “We all know that. He’s the greatest Indian batsman. He took on what the great Sunil Gavaskar did and took it to the next level. He is the greatest Indian batsman.”
Monty Panesar says only MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli come close to Sachin Tendulkar’s legacy
On being asked whether anyone managed to take Sachin Tendulkar’s legacy ahead, Monty admitted that no one has matched the Master Blaster’s legacy completely, but both MS Dhoni and Kohli have come very close.
Panesar signed off by saying, “Probably the closest are two cricketers—MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. They matched the same level of popularity and demeanor and also had the ability to match the talent on the field as well.”
