Fans slam Shubman Gill for 'Prince' engraving on his new bat ahead of England series. Many call it self-obsessed as BCCI shares captain's photoshoot images.
Backlash
While fans often call Gill 'Prince of Indian cricket', his self-proclaimed title on bat hasn't been well received ahead of his Test captaincy debut.
Nickname
The 24-year-old became India's 37th Test skipper after Rohit Sharma's sudden retirement. He previously led India to 4-1 T20I series win in Zimbabwe.
Captaincy
Gill faces tough England tour with modest Test record: just 88 runs from 3 Tests in England. His captaincy skills will be tested against strong opponents.
Challenge
Coming off strong IPL 2025 as GT captain (650 runs), Gill hopes to translate white-ball success to Tests. Partner Sai Sudharsan (759 runs) joins him.
Form
India aim for first Test series win in England since 2007. Gill's leadership and batting will be crucial in ending the 18-year drought.
History
With captaincy debut and fan criticism, can Gill prove his 'Prince' tag is deserved? England series begins June 20 with high expectations.
