India’s Test team is set to begin the World Test Championship cycle with a new captain, Shubman Gill, and vice-captain, Rishabh Pant, facing England. This marks a changing of the guard after the departures of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. KL Rahul, a senior player, shared his thoughts on Gill’s appointment.
Rahul confirmed he contacted Gill immediately to offer support. He believes in the need for a unified team and the importance of giving Gill the space to lead. The team includes newcomers like Sai Sudharsan and Arshdeep Singh, along with Karun Nair, who returns to the squad. The series in England will be a test for the new team, and they will look to improve upon their previous performance.
