Shubman gill: After the crushing defeat of India in the Leeds Test, now the pressure on Team India has increased. India is now 0–1 in the five-match Test series and the next match will be played in Edgbaston from July 2. The importance of this match is not only for return to the series, but is also considered decisive for the future of Captain Shubman Gill. If India also loses Edgbaston Test, Gautam can take a big decision regarding the captaincy of Gambhir Gill.

Questions raised about captaincy in Leeds Test

During the Leeds Test, many cricket experts raised their fingers on the captaincy of Shubman Gill. Poor field placements, weak bowling rotation and lack of harmony in top order weakened the team’s strategy. Gill’s defensive attitude overshadowed the team on several occasions and India lost by 5 wickets.

Gambhir wants aggressive captain?

Gautam Gambhir has always been in favor of aggressive thinking and decisive captaincy. He has given an example of his thinking by making Kolkata Knight Riders champions in the IPL. In such a situation, if Gill could not show the impressive leadership even in Edgbaston, then serious captaincy can be forced to change. He also has an option to play bets on senior players like KL Rahul or Jaspreet Bumrah or any other young face.

Gill’s career in crisis

Shubman Gill will probably have the last chance to prove herself in the Edgbaston Test starting on 2 July. If the team wins and they show improvement in captaincy, then they can remain in this post. But in the event of defeat, snatching Gill’s captaincy is believed to be almost fixed.
