Overview

• Gautam Gambhir expressed his preference for a single all-format captain but admitted that packed schedules make this approach unrealistic.
• India is poised to have three captains across formats: Rohit Sharma for ODIs, Suryakumar Yadav for T20Is, and Shubman Gill, likely to be named Test captain.
• Shubman Gill has reportedly met with Gambhir and chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar ahead of the decision on the Test captaincy for the England series starting June 20, 2025.
• Gambhir acknowledged the leadership and experience void left by Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's Test retirements but views it as an opportunity for emerging players to step up.
• Reflecting on his own career, Gambhir stated he has no regrets about not captaining India, valuing his two World Cup medals as his greatest achievements.
