Not Shubman Gill, Gautam Gambhir is the new king of Indian cricket after the retirement of Rohit Sharma & Virat Kohli

For years, Gambir Gambir has hiked on his aversion of “superstar culture” in Indian cricket. Less than a year after having assumed the role of the head coach of India, Gambir managed to eradicate it to a certain extent. Over the past 5 days, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have announced their Cricket test retirement.

Gambir’s desire has come true

The duo was the most influential cricket players not only in India but around the world. In June 2024, they left T20is behind, and these are now tests. In the future, they are players in a format. The superstars have disappeared. And it is Gambir who will reign supreme. It will not be Shubman Gill, who should take over as a new test captain of India.

“Gambir wants to end the superstar culture that has been widespread for so many years now. He came here to dismantle the culture of the superstar, and that is what caused discomfort for certain members of the game”, ” A PTI source said in January.

Gill will not be in charge

It is not only the fact that Gill is only 26 years old, but he never led India against a high -level team. He has no files or distinctions. Did not take his Indian Premier League (IPL), Gujarat Titans, in a title either. It is not tested. It can be vice-captain in white ball cricket, but Gambir will be the alpha in the room.

No one barely Jasprit Bumrah can stand up and question the authority of Gambir. And even he is not in the leadership scheme of things because of his fitness problems. Those who could, Rohit and Kohli will not play for India until August. And will disappear for months, given how few ODI teams are playing now.

Bcci & Gambir on the same wavelength

When Gambir arrived in July 2024, he knew that a transition was on him. Ravichandran Ashwin has been withdrawn from all formats since. And Rohit and Kohli are not far from it either. He had said at the Board of Control For Cricket in India (BCCI) that he wanted to bring some new faces in the side of the test before the next World Championship cycle (WTC), which begins in June 2025 and took place until May 2027.

With Rohit and Kohli who went from the test cricket, he accomplished what he wanted. And the selectors seem to be on the same wavelength. The reports suggest that BCCI wanted Kohli to remain and perhaps even direct the team in England, but from the point of view of Gambir, he obtained what he wanted. India is his team to the ODI 2027 World Cup.

“The Gautam Gambir era begins now. It was categorical that during the next WTC cycle, India must have new faces. All the people associated with decision -making knew where Gambir was standing in terms of transportation of seniors in the longest format. Obviously, the president and president of the Ajit Agarkar selectors have been lined up, “obviously, its president of the Ajit Agarkar selectors was aligned,” A BCCI source told PTI.
