New Delhi: The Indian team is all set to tour England for a five-game Test series. The first Test of the series kicks off from June 20, and it is worth noting that ahead of the series, the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) took centre stage and announced ace batter Shubman Gill would be the side’s new Test skipper going forward.
With many questioning Gill’s appointment as the new Test skipper, former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh came forward and opined that the star batter should be given time in his role to flourish as the captain.
“Every captain has the capability to carry forward the legacy. Captains are not made in 1-2 months. You give some time to Gill, he will rise to the occasion, and you will see how capable he is as a captain. We have already seen him as a batter, that he is ‘Gill sahab the great’,” Harbhajan Singh told ANI news.
“We hope that India does well once again on English soil. Best wishes to Shubman Gill and Team India. It is a young team but a ‘dum waali team’,” he added.
