Shubman Gill’s Decision Signals a Shift, Warns Sunil Gavaskar

Shubman Gill, after a stellar performance in the 5-match Test series against England, where he was the highest run-scorer, has made a significant decision. This decision, praised by former player Sunil Gavaskar, involves prioritizing domestic cricket. Gavaskar highlighted Gill’s choice to captain the North Zone team in the Duleep Trophy 2025. He views this as a positive sign for other Indian cricketers, urging them to learn from Gill’s commitment to the sport. Gill’s dedication is especially noteworthy given the demanding schedule, which included a 6-week Test series, followed by the decision to play in the Duleep Trophy rather than take a break. The article also mentions Gill’s impressive performance in the Test series, where he scored 754 runs, making him the second-highest run-scorer in a single Test series for India, behind only Sunil Gavaskar’s 774 runs in 1971 against the West Indies. Gill’s performance earned him the Player of the Series award. The North Zone squad is also listed, including Shubman Gill as captain.
