Shubman Gill has made a bold pitch for the BCCI to consider him as a potential captain, putting forward his case in front of former India opener Gautam Gambhir.
Gill has expressed that captaincy is something he “definitely enjoys” and has made his aspirations clear. This comes after the BCCI’s decision to release Shubman Gill from the T20 World Cup squad after the group stage matches, with Yashasvi Jaiswal being preferred as the fourth opener.

Former England captain Eoin Morgan believes Shubman Gill is a “future leader” within the Indian team and that having more leaders in the squad can be beneficial, even if Gill is not the starting XI. Morgan feels Gill should have been selected over Jaiswal in the World Cup squad.
While India are the tournament favorites with their deep talent pool, the decision to release Gill has raised some eyebrows. Gill’s captaincy ambitions and Morgan’s endorsement suggest he is positioning himself as a potential leader for the Indian team going forward.
