Shubman Gill: Duleep Trophy 2024 is about to start and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has already announced the four teams for it. This time many senior players of Team India have also been included for the Duleep Trophy.

However, now it is also visible from this squad that who is going to be the next Test captain of Team India. In this race, the name of young batsman Shubman Gill was leading but now an Indian player can leave him behind.

Shubman Gill will not be able to become the captain of the Test team

Actually, the team management is supporting Gill (Shubman Gill) a lot at this time and that is why it is believed that he is going to be the next captain of Team India. However, BCCI seems to have a different planning with the Duleep Trophy squad.

Let us tell you that Gill was recently appointed the captain of Team India for the T20 and ODI series for the Sri Lanka tour. In such a situation, it is believed that he will be the next captain of India in the future, but in Test matches, not him but some other player can take over this command.

This player can become the Test captain of Team India

If we talk about the present time, the captaincy of ODI and Test is in the hands of Rohit Sharma, while Suryakumar Yadav has been given the captaincy responsibility in T20. In such a situation, if Gill (Shubman Gill) is unable to prove himself, then his replacement will also be ready for the team.

Gill has been given the captaincy of Team 'A' in the Duleep Trophy, while the captaincy of Team 'D' is in the hands of star batsman Shreyas Iyer. Iyer can be the next captain of Team India's Test team. He also has a long experience of captaining in IPL and domestic cricket. In such a situation, he can be appointed as the next captain of the Indian team in Tests.

Shreyas Iyer's Test career

If we talk about Shreyas, he has performed brilliantly in all three formats for the Indian team.

If we look at the Test career of this player, he has played a total of 14 Test matches so far, in which he has scored 811 runs at an average of about 37. During this, one century and 5 half-centuries have come from his bat.

So his record in first class cricket has also been excellent and Iyer has scored 5664 runs in 72 matches with an average of about 49. During this, he has scored 13 centuries and 30 half-centuries.
