The 25-year-old batter is all set to lead the new era in Indian Test cricket after the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
Ahead of the first Test against England at Leeds, the right-handed batter addressed the media with clarity and confidence. When he was asked whether winning an IPL title or a Test series in England holds more significance, the young India captain’s response went round on social media.
The Punjab lad said that leading India to a Test series win in England will be a greater achievement than lifting an IPL trophy. He explained that opportunities to win a Test series in the SENA countries are rare, unlike the IPL, which comes around every year.
IPL comes every year, and you get to go have a crack at it every year. So, in my opinion, winning a test series in England, Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa is bigger.”
