Notably, Virat Kohli retired from Test cricket on 12th May before the start of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, while Jasprit Bumrah played only three out of five Tests in the series.
Irfan Pathan’s special praise for Shubman Gill
Irfan Pathan also lauded Shubman Gill’s leadership in the Test series vs England. The England five-match Test tour was Shubman Gill’s first assignment as India’s Test captain. Under his captaincy, the Indian team showcased a marvellous performance and ended up levelling the series 2-2.
In his tweet, Pathan hailed Shubman Gill’s massive growth as a leader in just one overseas tour.
“Shubman Gill went to England as a boy,coming back as a leader of men.”, Pathan wrote on X.
