News India Live, Digital Desk: BCCI’s Big Move: There has been new signs about captaincy in the Indian cricket team, in which young opener Shubman Gill is likely to take command of the team in all three formats. According to reports, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is not considering any plan of full -time captaincy for Shreyas Iyer in the near future, even though he successfully led Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and various domestic teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He has performed extraordinary in limited overs cricket and even in Test cricket, which has increased the confidence of the selectors. Gill is already captaining the IPL for Gujarat Titans and has also given good results to the team. His calm nature and ability to read the match on the field has made him an ideal candidate for captaincy. On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer is not currently considered a serious candidate for vice -captain or long -term captaincy. Although Iyer has led a few occasions in a limited overs match for the Mumbai team in India and IPL, the recent reports indicate that the board’s focus is on Gill. BCCI is also assessing the possibility of change in Test captaincy of Gill, although leading India in the Test format is a different challenge in itself. This development indicates the direction of the future of Indian cricket after Rohit Sharma’s captaincy. Gill is a young player and has enough time to learn and enhance leadership. The argument behind this decision is clearly showing a long -term strategy for future leadership. The selectors are betting on Gill’s talent and his leadership capacity, so that he can lead the Indian team in the next decade.
