He said that the five -time champions are ‘very well playing’ and a well -balanced team, which is in speed. Former India opener selected Hardik Pandya’s team on its former club Punjab Kings (PBKS) and high -flying Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), which is the only team to secure their place in the final so far. Dhawan was the captain of PBKS last year, when he finished ninth above MI in the points table. This year, under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer and Ricky Ponting, Punjab -based franchise has been one of the best, which is qualifying at the top of the table, India Today said Dhawan quoted Dhawan as saying, “This time IPL has been very exciting. I will be supported with Mumbai Indians.

The Mumbai Indians team is really playing well – they are very balanced. The way he gained momentum is fantastic, and they are very strong and balanced team. Therefore, I am with Mumbai Indians. “The left -handed batsman also commented on his ODI replacement, Gill’s appointment as India’s Test captain. 25 -year -old Gill was ahead of several senior players like Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant before the five -Test series against England in June.

Dhawan said, “I think this is a great option.” “Shubman has recently performed very well in the IPL. He is a great talent and matured – he has been playing for the Indian team for many years. I think he is the perfect candidate for Test captaincy, and I am sure he will handle it well and lead the team. It is now a new generation – and I believe that he will do a brilliant work.” The Test series will begin on June 20 in Handingley, which will begin the new World Test Championship cycle.
