Shubman Gill, newly appointed as the captain of the Indian Test cricket team, embarks on a challenging tour of England. The demanding series marks the start of a new era for India, following the retirement of iconic players such as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

Ravi Shastri, former head coach of India, has expressed his confidence in Gill's ability to lead. He acknowledges the test that lies ahead for the 25-year-old, particularly in English conditions, but believes Gill's tenure as captain of the Gujarat Titans in the IPL has prepared him for the task.

Gill's leadership will be tested in the five-Test series, beginning in Leeds. Shastri believes that while the challenge is significant, the experience will be invaluable for Gill, who is recognized for his composure and calm temperament. This tour represents a pivotal moment in Gill's career and the future of Indian cricket.
