Taking the reins for the first time in Test cricket, Shubman Gill will lead a young and evolving Indian squad after the retirement of veterans Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and R Ashwin. Facing England in their home conditions—a challenge that has historically tested even the most experienced teams—Gill’s leadership will be under intense pressure.
