Dinesh Karthik Doubts Shubman Gill’s Captaincy Readiness for England Test Series

Former Indian cricketer and commentator Dinesh Karthik has expressed reservations about Shubman Gill’s preparedness to captain the Indian Test team, particularly ahead of the upcoming series against England in June. Karthik believes Gill, recently promoted to the role, hasn’t fully grasped the responsibilities and challenges of Test captaincy. He highlighted the difficulties teams often face playing Test matches in England, even with strong squads. Karthik acknowledged England’s vulnerable bowling attack as a potential advantage for India. Gill’s Test record includes 1,893 runs in 51 innings at an average of 35.05, with five centuries and seven half-centuries, demonstrating his batting capabilities.
