Shubman Singh Gill

When a fan came up to the Indian captain, he paused to shake hands and greet him. But as soon as their hands touched, the fan yelled "Pakistan Zindabad," which stunned Gill and he kept moving ahead.

As India tied the England series 2-2, Gill played a strong captain role and amassed 754 runs in five Test matches, including four hundreds.

Before the game began, Nayar talked about Rohit Sharma's incredible physical makeover, sharing the motivation behind the India captain's 11-kilogram weight loss and his goals for the 2027 World Cup.

Shubman Gill replaced highly successful Rohit Sharma as India's new ODI skipper.

India vs Australia live streaming: The series is anticipated to be crucial for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who now only play the ODIs but the selectors are not committed about their future as far as the World Cup is concerned.

With Shubman Gill now leading the team in two formats, it is understandable that he'll be the leading candidate to replace Suryakumar Yadav in T20Is when the time comes.

Following India's second training session ahead of the first ODI on Sunday, Axar said Rohit and Kohli, who have not played for India since Champions Trophy in March, look sharp as ever.

Head coach Gautam Gambhir and the rest of the coaching staff will join the squad later in the day as they had boarded an evening flight from Delhi.

A video of newly appointed ODI captain Shubman Gill meeting his predecessor Rohit Sharma at the team hotel was shared by BCCI on social media.

The hosts stormed to 518/5 before deciding that the total was sufficient to declare the innings. The West Indies responded with a 248-run total, stuttering often. India could have batted again, but they chose to use the follow-on option because they had a commanding 273-run lead.

The Indian captain never expressed interest in the single, to be fair and instantly said no. However, once Shubman Gill refused, Jaiswal's insistence made it nearly difficult for him to return on time.

Asked when does he expect the track to deteriorate further, the left-arm spinner replied: "I think the wicket is still a good one, with the odd balls spinning a little bit.

Jaiswal had a lot to say, but Gill, as surprised as anyone else, merely stared at him blankly. The young Indian opener nearly forgot he was out in the midst of all of this. He remained dissident and did not budge an inch.

Gill's selection as Test captain had been questioned because the young player had battled to establish himself at No. 4 and was inconsistent in the longest format, especially while playing abroad.

So far Gill has been superb as a batter since becoming red ball captain. Five hundreds in seven tests stand testimony and while tougher challenges are ahead of him, the early signs give us a lot of heart.

Shubman Gill also outperformed Sachin Tendulkar, who had achieved four hundreds in 1997 while serving as captain of India's Test team.

IND vs WI: The entire Indian team laughed out loud when Shubman Gill won the toss on a flat track in Delhi.

When asked about if Rohit and Kohli remain in the 2027 World Cup plans, Gill had a different opinion from chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar who did not commit anything in a recent press conference.

The 25-year-old Gill, who already leads the Indian Test team, will begin his ODI captaincy reign during a three-match series Down Under from October 19 to 25.
