The Indian cricket team full of young players under the captaincy of Shubman Gill is currently in Zimbabwe. Here Gill will not only have a chance to prove his ability as a captain but also to strengthen his position as the rightful successor of Rohit-Kohli in Team India.
As soon as Hardik Pandya bowled the last ball of the match in Barbados on June 29, the whole of India rejoiced. Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, defeated South Africa in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024 and won the title. With this, the wait that had been going on for years also ended. The fans were rejoicing in this happiness when they got a shock. The hero of the final and star batsman Virat Kohli said goodbye to Team India in this format forever. Shortly after, captain Rohit Sharma also took the same step. Since then everyone has been discussing who will replace Virat and Rohit in T20. Team India’s young batsman Shubman Gill has staked a claim for this.
While the entire country is currently focused on welcoming the world champion players of Team India, a team of young players under the captaincy of Shubman Gill is in Zimbabwe, which will take the field for the T20 series from Saturday, July 6. Gill has also had the opportunity to captain Team India for the first time. In such a situation, during this 5-match series, he will have to answer many difficult questions.
Ready to replace Kohli-Rohit
One such question, which seemed a bit difficult, was asked in his first press conference. This question was about the role of opening batsman in Team India, which became vacant with the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Gill staked his claim on this and said that he would like to fill this place. Referring to Rohit and Kohli, Gill said that both of them opened during the World Cup and he has been opening, so he would like to open in the T20 team in the future as well.
Who will be Gill’s partner?
While Rohit was the permanent opener of the team, Kohli opened in the World Cup. In such a situation, the opening slots in the T20 team have become vacant, out of which Yashasvi Jaiswal is sure to play. There is competition for the second spot and Gill wants to make it his own. Currently, Gill will open in the Zimbabwe series, where Abhishek Sharma will start the innings with him. Gill, however, also made it clear that his goal is not to repeat the achievements of Virat or Rohit because it is not easy and in such a situation he will not be able to perform well.
India Lose The 1st T20 by 13 runs
On Saturday, India won the toss and chose bowling against Zimbabwe in the 1st T20 Match. Zimbabwe Players Play a good innings and 116 runs target for Team India. On the other hand, Indian batsmen do not start a good inning and fail to achieve the target. The result of this match Zimbabwe won by 13 runs.
