Three reasons why Shubman Gill can be a good choice as captain for India

Shubman Gill can be the future captain of the Indian Test team after Rohit retired from Test cricket with immediate effect. Gill has been a brilliant batter and an incredible fielder in red-ball cricket. However, he hasn’t played many matches to show his calibre. With Rohit Sharma‘s absence, reports suggest that Gill will be India’s test captain currently, and there are no other players as fascinating as him. In this article, we will discuss the reasons why Suman Gill can be a good choice as a captain for India.

Here are the three reasons why Shubman Gill can be a good choice as Captain:

1. Experience as GT’s captain

Despite not holding any experience as Test captain, Gill has been incredible in the ongoing IPL 2025. He has led the team successfully, and they are at the top of the points table with eight wins. Hence, Gill’s captaincy skills can be judged from the IPL 2025.

2. Good performance under pressure

Gill’s performance in the previous BGT trophy had been brilliant, and hence the board wanted to trust him with the captaincy and groom him efficiently. He had performed under pressure in many matches, which is the main reason why he started coming at the No. 3 position in Test matches. 

3. Mentorship from seniors

Gill has played under Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in white-ball and red-ball cricket. Hence, he can bring in those valuable lessons he learned from his seniors and can bestow it upon his current teammates. He is someone who has the perfect amount of calmness and aggression within himself, which will take him a long way.
