With Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired from Test cricket, Vaughan believes that Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Rishabh Pant must now carry the Indian cricket team and its legacy forward. He also believes that India is no longer in the transition phase, but in a full-blown transformation.

However, Vaughan has made it clear that early success doesn’t guarantee long-term greatness, and for India’s young army, the mission isn’t just to win a few matches or series but to build something iconic.
Replacing Virat Kohli’s legacy won’t be easy: Michael Vaughan
So, Vaughan reckons that it is now up to Gill’s calm control, Jaiswal’s fearless intent, and Pant’s explosive flair to shape a new Indian era that can match or even surpass what Kohli built.

Michael Vaughan says Shubman Gill can grow as a Captain, but Virat Kohli's aura and intensity are irreplaceable
Vaughan further explained, “You can't move on so suddenly after two legends have retired or moved out of the team. Shubman's made an incredible start as a captain and as a player. He's a wonderful player. In terms of batting, I don't think the team will struggle too much.”
The commentator feels Gill has the potential to grow tactically, but filling Kohli’s shoes is never going to be an easy job. He signed off by saying, “It's that competitive energy that Virat brought to the Test team. He just brought that buzz and that intensity that you require. Tactically, he was very good as well. That'll be something that Shubman can get better at over the years as captain.”
