Yograj Crédit Yuvraj Singh for the ascent of Gill as a test captain

Former Indian cricket player Yograj Singh said it was due to Yuvraj Singh’s efforts that Shubman Gill became a test in India. On Saturday, the chief selector Ajit Agarkar confirmed that the punjab striker would be the successor to Rohit Sharma while the Squad for England series was announced. Gill became the 37th captain to direct an Indian team in the tests.

Gill captain because of Yuvraj?

Addressing the Ani news agency, Yograj said that the credit for Gill becoming Captain went to his father and Yuvraj. Svuping his son as a “big cricket brain”, Yograj said Gill had become and will have been a long time because of Yuvraj’s advice.

“”If Gill has become a captain today and will remain for a long time, Yuvraj Singh’s advice will play and have played a big role in this area. Someone like Yuvraj, the biggest cricket brain in the world, taking branchies under their wing is a great thing“Said Yograj.

Gill never led the Red Ball team in the past, although he made the captain of the T20i in a series against Zimbabwe. He is currently heading GT in IPL 2025.

“”You do not choose the captains for 1-2 tours. You want to invest in something that will help us move forward. We have seen progress in him in the past 2 years. There is no doubt, it will be difficult to make a series of 5 games in England. Maybe we will have to learn a little about work, but we are very confident and that’s the reason why we choose it“Said Agarkar at the press conference on May 24.
