Shubman Gill will captain India in the next three-match home ODI series against the West Indies as part of the team’s preparation for the 2027 World Cup. Since replacing Rohit Sharma as captain last year, Gill has had a difficult start and has only won one series.
Former India batsman Dinesh Karthik has assessed Shubman Gill’s leadership and feels the young captain has to assume more responsibility for the team.
Karthik’s comments highlight the challenges Shubman Gill is facing as a new captain. With selector Ajit Agarkar set to step down, it is anticipated that the dynamics inside the team structure may shift. Karthik emphasised that Gill needs to establish authority and have a strong working connection with the coaching staff in order to command respect from his players.

Ajinkya Rahane, a former Indian batsman, has also talked about Gill’s potential to become captain. Rahane acknowledged both Gill’s abilities as a player and his leadership experience with the Gujarat Titans and England.
