Gill Leads India After Kohli, Sharma Retire

India's cricket team begins a new era as Shubman Gill takes over as captain after the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, with Gautam Gambhir serving as head coach. The team will face England in a five-Test series at Headingley starting June 20, marking the start of a new World Test Championship cycle. Gill, advised by cricket legends to make bold decisions, will bat at No. 4, a spot vacated by Kohli, as part of a strategy to provide stability during this transition. Rishabh Pant is set to lead the wicketkeeping duties and is on the verge of surpassing MS Dhoni as India's top wicketkeeper-batter in SENA countries. The youthful squad, under the Gill-Gambhir partnership, is expected to foster growth and opportunity for emerging talent. Analysts and fans are closely watching how this leadership navigates the challenges posed by England and the broader generational shift.
