Mohammad Kaif claims Shubman Gill can be made the captain of the ODI team soon
New Delhi: Shubman Gill can also become the captain of the ODI team soon. Former cricketer Mohammad Kaif has made this claim. The Indian team performed brilliantly in the 5-match Test series against England under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. Since then, news of Gill becoming the captain of the ODI team has started coming. Currently, the captain of the Indian ODI team is Rohit Sharma. The captain of the T20 team is Suryakumar Yadav.
When Shubman Gill was given the captaincy of the Indian Test team before the England tour, many veterans did not like it. It was being said that Gill has been made the captain by ignoring the experience of many senior cricketers, which is not right. Shubman Gill has dispelled these fears on the England tour. He not only scored the highest 754 runs in the series, but also tied the series 2-2.
Gill is ready to captain the ODI team
Mohammad Kaif praised the Indian team and captain Shubman Gill for drawing the series in England on his YouTube channel. He also said, ‘He (Shubman) will also get the captaincy of ODIs because we do not know how long Rohit Sharma will remain the captain. Gill is ready. He scores runs in white ball cricket (ODI-T20). He performed well as captain in Tests here and led the team from the front.’
Gill grabbed Test captaincy with both hands
Mohammad Kaif said, ‘When you go with a young team, you have to do two things. First, score runs yourself and second, perform well as captain. Overall it was a great tour for him. Shubman Gill grabbed the opportunity he got as captain with both hands. When he became the captain, many questions were raised as to why he was made the captain. Especially his Test record was talked about but now everything is left behind.
Rohit has retired from two formats
Talking about the Indian ODI team, regular captain Rohit Sharma now plays only in this format. He has retired from Test and T20 International cricket. In such a situation, speculation has started about Rohit’s ODI career whether he will remain the captain in the 50-over format after his retirement from Tests.
