Shubman Gill's Leadership Test: Navigating the Challenges of Captaincy

Dinesh Karthik, a former cricketer for India, has weighed in on Shubman Gill's new role as the captain of the Indian Test team. Karthik emphasizes the importance of Gill focusing on his batting as he takes on this leadership position to earn respect among teammates.

As India embarks on a five-match Test series in England without seasoned players such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and R Ashwin, young Gill is tasked with guiding the team. This series marks Gill's first assignment as captain in the longest format of the game.

Karthik praised Gautam Gambhir's coaching abilities, noting his tactical acumen, while also suggesting that Gambhir's aggressive style might require moderation in his role as a coach.
