Jasprit bumrah vs shubman gill: BCCI sent a perfect solution to test the captain discussion

In the midst of the debate that India should be assigned as a new test captain, former opener Wasim Jaffer said that Shubman Gill should lead the Test team approaching the Test team when he had to listen to Jasprit Bumrah’s ‘Automatic Election’. Rohit Sharma announced that he retired from tests at the beginning of this month, while Gill was seen as a prerequisite to lead a new -looking Indian test team in the five -match series in Headingley, starting from June 20th. India did not win a test series in the UK after the 2007 tour they won 1-0 under the leadership of Rahul Dravid.

Jaffer, who played 31 tests on Friday, said, “I think Bumrah is a selection of automatic captain unless he wants responsibility. When Bumrah needs to be heard, VC must be captain as Gill.

I think Bumrah is a choice of automatic captain unless he wants responsibility. When Bumrah needs to be heard, Gill must be the captain of Gill as VC. In this way, Gill can be maintained without pressure to be full -time captain. #Engvind
