Here you know about the 3 biggest challenges that captain Shubman Gill may have to face.

1. It is difficult to replace Rohit Sharma

When a legend like Virat Kohli praises a player’s talent. At the same time, India’s veteran umpire Anil Chaudhary has also praised Rohit’s MindSet. Under the captaincy of Rohit, Team India is coming by winning the 2024 T20 World Cup, 2025 Champions Trophy. Under his captaincy, India has also played 2023 WTC final and 2023 ODI World Cup. Looking at such a great captaincy record, it will be very difficult for 25 -year -old Shubman Gill to replace him immediately.

2. Gill on what order will the batting

The biggest question is, on which order Shubman Gill himself will bat. After Cheteshwar Pujara’s drop, he was playing on number-3. Now after Rohit Sharma’s retirement, the opening batting slot has become vacant. Gill will open or batting on the third order. The answer to this question can be found as Sai Sudarshan. Continue batting on Gill number-3 and Sai Sudarshan can prove to be a better option as Rohit Sharma’s replacement.

3. Who will replace Virat Kohli?

The number-4 slot in the batting has also been empty due to Virat Kohli’s retirement in the Test team. KL Rahul can be an option, which experiences batting in the middle order along with opening. Karun Nair batting at number-4 in domestic cricket and Ranji Trophy is coming in 2024-25 scoring 863 runs in 9 matches at an average of about 54. At the same time, Sarfaraz Khan also has great experience of batting in middle order.

If you want to make him the captain of the Test team, then open him or send him to number 3. After that he does not need to do too much ‘protect’.”

Sidhu further said, “After that you will have to examine how Gill becomes captain. We should invest in him one year and get them open. After that it should not be that he should be tested again instead of Virat Kohli. You cannot do this, because it will be a very wrong thing.”

How should Team India be

Navjot Singh Sidhu believes that a good player and captain do not need protection. He said that Sarfaraz Khan went to Australian tour, I will feed Shreyas Iyer. If you do not want to keep Iyer, then bring Karun Nair. This legendary cricketer has advised to feed KL Rahul on number-4. Please tell that till now Virat Kohli was batting on the fourth order.
