"shubman-gill"

Harshit Rana has been added to India’s squad for the first Test against England at Leeds. The five-match series begins June 20, 2025, with Rana joining from the India A setup

A new era begins in Indian cricket as the newly-appointed Shubman Gill leads the team on the tour to England, featuring five Test matches

Bangar says Gill coming in at No. 3 would send a positive message to the entire team

The announcement was made by BCCI selection committee chairman Ajit Agarkar in Mumbai on Saturday. Shubman Gill takes over the captaincy from Rohit Sharma, who recently retired from Test cricket

Speaking to Hotstar, Gill also revealed what makes his batting partnership with Sai Sudharsan so effective and emphasized that tactical awareness is crucial to their success in the TATA IPL.

The absence of Indian batting stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from the Test series in England will give a "massive boost" to the hosts, said former all-rounder Moeen Ali

"It's not easy in a T20 match, if there is such a long break to be able to come back and start the game,” Gill said

Sai Sudharsan, the lead performer with the bat for Gujarat Titans in the ongoing IPL, says thanks to Ashish Nehra and all the support staff and the team, they had the trust in him from the first year

The next match is at Ahmedabad, we've had a good run there. It was Suryavanshi's day, his hitting was tremendous and he made full use of it, Gill said

TATA IPL has been an incredible academy for young talent, offering them the chance to learn from top players and coaches, while still encouraging them to stay true to themselves," Buttler said on JioHotstar’s special series “Gen Gold”.

“If a player like Shubman, who has been part of the same team for three to four years, stays grounded, keeps learning from the game, and continues to grow—which is in his nature—then the sky is the limit for him. This is what I believe,” Nehra said in a chat with JioHotstar

By all means, it will be a huge challenge for Gujarat, which failed to qualify for the play-offs last season having just won five out of the 14 league games to finish eighth on the points table

"I used to throw balls to them during their practice sessions—some of my earliest IPL memories. I was extremely nervous, but I already knew about Sachin Sir. He was the reason I started playing cricket. My father is his biggest fan. While my dad was never into posters, we still had Sachin's posters in our village," Gill shared in a conversation with JioHotstar.

Rohit, who played a crucial knock of 76 off 83 balls in the final, climbed two spots to secure the third position. His stellar performance earned him the Player of the Match award. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli, who accumulated 218 runs in the tournament, retains his place in the top five, holding the fifth position.

It's also a nerve-settling victory for India ahead of their much-awaited clash against a more accomplished Pakistan at the same venue on February 23

Gill is sitting on top of the batting chart with 796 rating points. Babar drops to second place and 23 rating points behind the new No.1.
