Gautam Gambhir Shubman Gill Press Conference Today Highlights: Shubman Gill admitted he was surprised and excited when he was named as India’s new test captain. Gill was appointed last month following the test retirements of the last two captains, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

He met the media in Mumbai on Thursday before India leaves for the five-test series against England starting on June 20 in Leeds. “I was overwhelmed to learn that I had been presented with the opportunity to lead India,” Gill said. “It is a big responsibility and I am looking forward to a great challenge in England.”

Sharma and Kohli were already established cricket greats when they became captains, but Gill, while aggressive, has yet to become a consistent, elite batter marked by match-winning performances. From 32 tests, he’s scored 1,893 runs and five centuries at an average of 35. He wants to lead by example and get on the same wavelength as his teammates.
