The much-awaited England series is now just two days away, and Shubman Gill is all set to take on his new assignment.

After the unexpected Test retirement of Rohit Sharma, Team India’s management appointed Gill as their new red-ball captain. Since the announcement, the 25-year-old has received mixed reactions from former cricketers.

Recently, Dinesh Karthik remarked that Gill is yet to fully grasp the enormity of what it takes to lead India in Test cricket. Meanwhile, several other players have extended their best wishes to the Fazilka-born cricketer.
