Shubman Gill is also ready to replace Rohit Sharma in ODIs after Test as captain Test. This claim has been made by former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif. He was greatly impressed by Gill’s captaincy on England tour. Kaif said that he looked very calm in the 5th Test after an argument with opponents at Lord’s, even when there was a partnership between Brook and Root, he did not appear in anger.

Prior to the tour of England, Rohit Sharma retired from Test cricket, after which the BCCI announced the name of Shubman Gill as the new Test captain. As captain, he made many records in the first Test series. Kaif said on his YouTube channel, “Many questions arose on Gill’s captaincy, according to me, he redeemed this big opportunity.

Gautam Gambhir’s last Test series could have been the head coach

Mohammad Kaif made another big claim in this video. According to him, if there was no good performance in this series, then Gautam Gambhir’s last Test series could also be the last Test series. He said, “The biggest pressure was on Gambhir on this tour. Gambhir could not do such a good job as the head coach. After losing at home to New Zealand, lost in Australia, he was also behind 2–1. If India had lost the last Test, the most criticism would have been the most criticism, and I think if India had lost the 5th Test, then this was the last Test of Gambhir as the head coach.
