New Delhi: India's tour of Sri Lanka, for which the team has been selected. Gautam Gambhir participated in the Indian team selection for the first time as the head coach. This new picture of Team India is raising many questions. After all, have these changes happened due to Gambhir's entry or is the story something else?
After Rohit Sharma's retirement from T20, Suryakumar Yadav has been chosen as the new captain of the T20 team in place of Hardik Pandya. Not only this, Shubman Gill has been made the vice-captain in both formats. Some big names are also missing in the team, including in-form batsman Rituraj Gaikwad, young batsman Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja.
Fans on the internet are divided into two groups regarding the selection of this team. While many big cricket experts claim that Gautam Gambhir has become the head coach of the team but he cannot take such big decisions alone as soon as he comes. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar and ODI-Test captain Rohit Sharma also have a hand in this. However, the details of the selection committee meeting have not been revealed yet.
According to the information, Shubman Gill is being considered as the main contender for the captaincy of Team India in the future. Team India won the series 4-1 under the leadership of Shubman Gill on the Zimbabwe tour. Gill's bat also performed well in this series. Now Gill has got a big promotion under the supervision of new coach Gautam Gambhir.
The new T20 captain Surya is 33 years old. At the same time, Shubman Gill is currently 24 years old. In such a situation, Gill has a good chance to mature further in terms of captaincy. Will Shubman Gill really become the captain of Team India in the future?
After Surya and Rohit, India needs some player, so the team management has given a hint about the future by making Gill the vice-captain in ODIs and T20s. However, Gill has a long way to go for this. Gambhir is always in support of new players. He does not give importance to big names, but to form and performance.
The biggest reason for Hardik Pandya's name being out of the captaincy race is his injury and fitness. Gambhir must be focusing more on the long term as a captain. Therefore, Shubman Gill's name is now far ahead of other contenders.
After this first meeting of Gambhir's tenure, the picture of Team India has changed to a great extent. The biggest change in this has happened regarding captaincy. One thing is clear that in the coming days, only those players will get a place in the team who have the ability to prove themselves.
