Shubman Gill’s Career Taking a New Turn
The promising young player of the Indian cricket team, Shubman Gill, is facing a tumultuous time in his career. Following a string of poor performances, his position in the team is being questioned. Despite his initial rise to fame and being considered the next ‘poster boy’ of Team India, his declining form has led to speculations about his future in the team.
A New Direction After the Border-Gavaskar Trophy
Shubman Gill’s appointment as the vice-captain of the ODI and T20 team after Rohit Sharma’s retirement from T20 cricket seemed like a step in the right direction. However, the team’s strategies have undergone a significant change after the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, casting doubts over Gill’s role in the team. His chances of becoming the vice-captain appear to be dwindling.
Former Cricketer Aakash Chopra Weighs In
Aakash Chopra, a former Indian cricketer, has expressed his thoughts on Shubman Gill’s removal from the vice-captaincy. Chopra stated that Gill’s consistent appointments as vice-captain were followed by a sudden decline in his importance, indicating that he is no longer in the running for the captaincy. Chopra believes that Gill’s role in the T20 format is almost over.
New Captain and Vice-Captain Suggestions
Aakash Chopra has suggested alternative candidates for the captaincy and vice-captaincy roles. He recommends Jasprit Bumrah as the captain and either Rishabh Pant or Yashasvi Jaiswal as the vice-captain for the India-England Test series. This suggestion implies that the team management may be looking beyond Shubman Gill for leadership positions.
