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. In the first series, his name was associated with Don Bradman, after 3 Tests that he could break Bradman’s record.”

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.

Shubman Gill made many records on England tour

In the first tour, Shubman Gill showed what Sourav Ganguly, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma could not do in his Test career. He scored 754 runs in 10 innings of 5 matches, he became the first Indian and the second captain of the world to score the most runs in a series. There is only Bradman (810) ahead of them. He broke Sunil Gavaskar’s record, he scored 732 runs in a series against West Indies in 1978.

Shubman Gill scored a record innings of 269 runs in this series, after which he made history by scoring 161 runs in the second innings of this match. He scored 430 runs in both innings. He became India’s first and second batsman in the world to score the most runs in a Test.

Ind vs eng 1st test: After Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, the Indian cricket team has not been able to do well in Test cricket, the same situation was seen in the first Test against England. This is the 7th defeat of Team India in the last 9 Tests. In this Test held in Leeds, the top -order batsmen performed amazing, although bad fielding, bowling and lower -order batsmen to be shattered became the reason for this defeat. Head coach Gautam Gambhir himself came in the post match press conference (Gautam Gambhir Post Match Press Conference), know what he said.

In the press conference, Gautam Gambhir said, “Except for Jaspreet Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj, Indian fast bowlers do not have much experience. The famous Krishna has played 4 Tests, Harshit Rana 2 and Arshdeep Singh have not played a single test yet. It does not matter in ODIs but in countries like England and Australia, it is like throwing them in the sea in countries like England and Australia.

Famous Krishna will be better with experience

The famous Krishna undoubtedly took 5 wickets in both innings, but also looted the runs. In both innings, he gave runs from an economy of more than 6. Gautam Gambhir defended him, saying, “I felt that the famous is a very good bowler, he really bowled very well. He also took important wickets. We chose him because we felt something different in him, he gets a boom. He gets a boom in the first innings. He made a very good use of boom in the first innings. He will get better with experience. He has all the qualities to become a good Test bowler. He gave us two important wickets.”

The world’s finest fielders also leave catch

In this test, Yashasvi Jaiswal left 4 catches alone, which became a reason for defeat. The fielding level was very poor. On this, Head Coach Gautam Gambhir said in the press conference, “The world’s best fielders also leave the catch. Nobody deliberately leaves. It was disappointing in terms of batting because we had lost 7 wickets for 41 runs in the first innings and 6 wickets for 31 in the second innings.

Gambhir also said on Shubman Gill’s coaching

Gautam Gambhir said about Shubman Gill that he should be given time as a captain. The head coach also praised Gill’s batting, who scored a century in the first innings. However, after this he said that whether it is a youth team or experienced, every defeat is bad. He said, “Every defeat is bad, it does not matter whether the team is experienced or youth. It is not an excuse for defeat because we are representing 140 crore Indian people.”
