SHUB Aarambh in Indian cricket
NF Times
|May 27, 2025
(RNS, 26-05-25) So here it is, in simple words, Shubman Gill is the new Test captain and face of Indian cricket at the global stage.
-
There was not a tinge of surprise when his name was announced by chief selector Ajit Agarkar on Saturday. It may sound cliche, but the writing was on the wall when Rohit Sharma announced his retirement, and it was pretty clear that Jasprit Bumrah could not play five Tests on the trot.
Unlike some of the previous captains, Shubman is a product of India’s rich hinterland. Farming background (unlike many the Gills were well-off), shifting pastures for better livelihood, driven by passion, pursuit of dream—a story of romance. The 25-year-old was born in a small and nondescript village called Chak Khere Wala in Fazilka district of Punjab, close to the India-Pakistan border. A small speck on the India map. Not anymore, though. As the lore of Shumban grew, so did the name of the village and Fazilka.
