Kuldeep Yadav said:

“As you have seen, Shubman knows how to lead the team. He has worked under a lot of seniors as well. For the last couple of years, he has been in a lot of discussions with Rohit Bhai. Not only in ODI but also in Tests. I am sure he has learnt a lot. As a leader, he is very motivated. The way he thinks is very important. He has helped the team a lot. In the last 3-4 sessions, I have seen the qualities of the leadership group. I have seen that in Shubman as well. He is ready to lead the team.”

“When there are no seniors, there is always a shortage. The players like Virat and Rohit, who have done so much for the team. Their importance will always be there. It is an opportunity for the youngsters to perform well. They have a chance to settle in the team. That is very important. I am sure everyone feels their absence. But the youngsters look very excited. They are ready for it. I am spending a lot of time with Ravindra Jadeja. He is very important to me as a spinner. I have learnt a lot from him. Obviously, I am missing Ashwin Bhai. But I am lucky to have Jaddu bhai around. I am enjoying everything so far.”

Shubman Gill’s elevation to Test captaincy marks the dawn of a new chapter in Indian cricket. His journey from being a precocious talent from Punjab to leading India in the longest and most demanding format is nothing short of remarkable. The England series will serve as his crucible, a defining test not just of his tactical acumen but of his ability to inspire a new-look Indian team that is still finding its identity in a post-Rohit-Kohli world. With the weight of expectations, the pressure of leadership, and the challenge of a fearless England side all converging at once, Gill stands at the crossroads of history. If he succeeds, Indian Test cricket might just have found its next iconic leader.
