New Delhi, June 16: Former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin shared his thoughts on Shubman Gill’s appointment as India’s new Test captain ahead of the five-match Test series against England, starting June 20 at Leeds.This series marks a new era in Indian Test cricket following the retirements of senior players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from Tests, and Ashwin himself from international cricket.
Speaking to journalist Boria Majumdar on Revsportz, Ashwin said that Gill might be feeling the weight of expectations.
“I think Gill is already too overwhelmed by the attention and responsibility he has got. If I was in his place with such a high-pressure job, I would want to have a very good start as a batsman,” Ashwin said.
