Shubman Gill has been made the new captain of the Indian Test team.

Shubman Gill named Captain of Test Team News in Hindi: Shubman Gill, who made his Test debut against Australia five years ago, has received his good performance. Shubman Gill has been made the new captain of the Indian Test team after Rohit Sharma retired from Test cricket. The BCCI announced this on Saturday (May 24).

Ravindra Jadeja is the most experienced player in the young Indian team declared for England tour. In such a situation, this tour for Shubman Gill is no less than a big challenge, because the World Test Championship 2025-27 is also starting with this visit. Now the biggest question is why Shubman Gill was made the captain of the Test team, there are five big reasons behind it.

Can captain for a long time

The BCCI was looking for a captain who could captain Team India for a long time. Shubman Gill is most suitable in this case. Shubman Gill is just 25 years old, so he can captain Team India for a long time. Gill is the fourth youngest captain of Team India. He is currently captaining the IPL.

Good batting under captaincy pressure

Shubman Gill is currently captaining Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025. Under his captaincy, the team is currently at the top of the points table. Apart from this, GT has also made a place in the playoffs. Gujarat Titans have won 9 out of 13 matches. In addition to the captaincy this season, Gill is also performing brilliantly with the bat. This season, he has scored 636 runs in 13 matches at an average of 57.81. This includes 6 half -centuries.

Available in match

Shubman Gill’s fitness is quite good. This is why they are available in every match. It is rare that they are not playing in a series due to injury. Like Virat Kohli, he pays great attention to his fitness. This is the reason why he has been given the command of the team, as fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will not be able to play all matches on the tour of England due to fitness.

Can bat in place of Virat

Virat Kohli used to bat at number four in Test cricket. Now Shubman Gill can bat on that number and fill the place of Virat Kohli. Although Gill plays at number three in this format, he is not able to perform well on this number.

Former cricketers also believe that Gill should bat at number 4, as his technique is quite good. Gill has played 32 Test matches so far. In which he has scored 1893 runs in 59 innings at an average of 35.05. This includes 5 centuries and 7 half -centuries. Gill is expected to perform well on England tour.

An opportunity to mix with new coaches

Coach Gautam Gambhir has a big hand in making Shubman Gill the captain of the Test team. Gautam Gambhir himself is the new coach, so he wants to form a young Test team. This is why Gill was his first choice as captain.
