At 25, Shubman Gill becomes India's youngest Test captain after Rohit Sharma's retirement. Buttler predicts he'll blend Kohli's aggression with Rohit's calmness.
Leadership
Gill's leadership journey includes IPL captaincy for Gujarat Titans and vice-captaincy in white-ball formats. Buttler calls him "the coming man" of Indian cricket.
Evolution
"He's got fight and intensity," says Buttler. Gill's captaincy will showcase passion like Kohli but with Rohit's composed approach - creating his unique identity.
Style
Filling Kohli's No.4 spot and Tendulkar's legacy is daunting. Gill's first test? Leading India in England's 5-match series starting June 20 at Headingley.
Challenge
"Kohli is king, Gill is prince," says Buttler. The England star believes Gill has learned from both Kohli and Rohit but will lead as his own man.
Comparison
With Bumrah passed over, all eyes are on Gill. His IPL experience with Buttler at Gujarat gives him crucial leadership exposure before this big test.
Expectations
Can Gill's "fiery yet calm" style conquer England? This series could define his captaincy legacy as India's new young leader in post-Kohli era.
