With Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravichandran Ashwin retired from Test cricket, Shubman Gill faces a big challenge in England, where India hasn’t won a Test series since 2007. But the young captain isn’t letting the pressure get to him ahead of the Test series.
Gill signed off by saying, “Apart from all the silverware and trophies aside, I would ideally like to build a culture where everyone is very secure and happy.
