Shubman Gill, just 25, replaces Rohit Sharma as India's Test captain for England series. The bold move has divided cricket experts.
Manoj Tiwary stunned fans by questioning Gill's place in playing XI: "How can someone not guaranteed a spot become captain?"
Virender Sehwag backed Bumrah or Pant: "Pant revived Test cricket after Kohli. Bumrah's workload prevents long-term captaincy."
Sehwag hailed Pant as Test cricket's modern hero: "Only Kohli matched his impact. He should've been first choice for captaincy."
While Bumrah was a contender, selectors feared bowling workload. Sehwag noted: "Kumble was last bowler-captain. It's rare."
India's 18-man squad features Gill (C), Pant (VC), Bumrah & young guns like Nitish Reddy. Jadeja & Jaiswal add experience.
Can Gill silence critics in England? With Pant as deputy, India's new leadership faces ultimate test against Bazball tactics.
