According to several reports, Shubman Gill is a leading candidate for Test captaincy. However, he has limited experience as a captain. Gill led India in a five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe last year. The young batter also served as vice-captain during the 2025 Champions Trophy campaign in the UAE.
"My captain would be Jasprit Bumrah as he has already proven himself as a leader. As far my vice-captain is concerned, I would like Shubman Gill to gain some experience as Bumrah's deputy. In case you have a problem with Bumrah's fitness then my choice is KL Rahul," Prasad told PTI.
