Divya Delhi: At the toss in Leeds, Shubman Gill will become the fifth youngest captain to lead the national side in Test cricket after the announcement of the new and youthful India Test squad for a five-match series against England beginning on June 20. After former Test captain Rohit Sharma abruptly announced his retirement from Test cricket, Gill, who is only 25 years old, was named captain. Virat Kohli was 26 years old when he was appointed Test captain in December 2014, following MS Dhoni's resignation. When Rohit Sharma was appointed Test captain in 2022, he was 35 years old.
