India vs England: Spotlight would be on India's new captain Shubman Gill when the side challenge England in a five-match Test series.

It is an Indian team in transition following the retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Days ahead of the opening Test at Headingley, Gill was doing a photoshoot. The pictures of the shoot was posted by the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) in their social media handles.

It is hilarious that fans are now roasting Gill. Fans are confused over he is the 'prince' or the 'princess'. Some are also jokingly thanking the Indian board for giving equal opportunity of men and women when it comes to cricket.

All of this over four pictures of Gill posted by the BCCI. The Indian board captioned the post as " - , ".

Here are some of the hilarious reactions that followed.

Gill to Occupy Kohli's No. 4?

Meanwhile, Gill in all probability would be batting at Virat Kohli's No. 4 slot. If these reports are true, Gill would be stepping into big shoes and hence it would be interesting how he manages it all.

The BCCI and the selectors have shown a lot of faith in Gill. What works in his favour is that Gill has featured in Tests in England. He may not have done wonders back then, and hence he would like to change things.

The first Test of the much-awaited tour starts from June 20. It will also be the start of a new World Test Championship cycle.
