'Gill is ready to take over...': Star India cricketer reflects on ODI captaincy after England tour
Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma India may have finished the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy with a draw, stretching their 15-year wait for a Test series win in England. Despite that the series offered more hope and positives than expected, with Shubman Gill standing out the most. Several questions were raised when Gill was selected as Test captain for a crucial England tour over more seasoned candidates. Neither head coach Gautam Gambhir nor chief selector Ajit Agarkar's support could silence the doubts right away. However, the Oval thriller where India secured a dramatic six-run win to draw the series, put all those questions to rest. Mohammad Kaif backs Gill, says he's ready for ODI capatincy Following his impressive summer in England, former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif backed Gill to take over India's captaincy as well, amid growing speculation about Rohit Sharma's future as a Test captain. 'He will get the ODI captaincy as well because we don't know how long Rohit Sharma will continue as captain. Gill is ready to take over. He scores in white-ball. He has performed well as captain here in Tests and led from the front. When you go with a young team, you have to do both things – score with the bat and do well as captain. A brilliant tour for him overall,' Kaif said on his Youtube channel 'Shubman Gill, as captain, created opportunities with both hands in this series. When he became captain, there were many questions as to why he was made captain, looking at his Test record. A young captain reached England under a lot of pressure with a young team. He answered with his bat and it came to a point where he was compared to breaking Sir Don Bradman's record. Such a strong comeback with the bat,' Kaif added Rohit's childhood coach says he wants to win ODI World Cup Rohit Sharma is active only in ODIs. After leading India to victory in the T20 World Cup in Barbados, he retired from the T20Is in June 2024. Later, he announced his unexpected retirement from Test cricket in May of this year, just weeks before the India squad for the tour of England was picked. While speculations regarding Rohit's future in ODI cricket is gradually increasing, the BCCI has said that Rohit will continue to lead the side in the 50-over format. Dinesh Lad, Rohit's childhood coach, stated earlier in May that the 37-year-old would like to win the ODI World Cup, which has eluded India since the team captained by MS Dhoni took home the trophy in 2011. 'His [Rohit's] aim is to win the 2027 ODI World Cup and then retire,' Lad told PTI. 'His target was the World Test Championship, but unfortunately we didn't qualify. Now, it's the 2027 World Cup… I also want him to win the 2027 World Cup and then retire.' The 2027 Cricket World Cup is set to be held in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia during October and November. Rohit's next outing will be in the three-match ODI series against Australia, starting October 19 in Perth.

'Bumrah didn't win a Test. Siraj likes being a leader…': Indian pacers get contrasting reviews after England series
Former Australian cricketer Brad Haddin delivered an honest assessment of India's 2-2 series draw against England as he suggested that the current team has proved that it can play with Jasprit Bumrah. In the high-voltage five-match Test series, India won at Edgbaston and the Oval, notably on both occasions, Bumrah was rested for workload management. In his absence, Mohammed Siraj stepped on occasions and powered India to crucial wins with his lion-hearted effort with the ball. He turned the tide at the Oval with his five-wicket haul as India emerged victorious by 6 runs to level the series. Mohammed Siraj led the Indian pace attack in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah at the Oval.(PTI) Bumrah played three Tests in the series, and he claimed 14 wickets, including two five-wicket hauls, while Siraj, who took part in all matches, finished as the highest wicket-taker with 23 scalps. Haddin stated that Bumrah didn't win any Test matches for India on the England tour. "India, they can take a lot out (this) that they can still play without Bumrah. His life goes on if the other bowlers find a way. They have got so much talent over there in India. But he didn't win a Test match," Haddin said on YouTube channel LiSTNR Sport. Meanwhile, the former Aussie wicketkeeper heaped massive praise on Siraj for leading the attack in Bumrah's absence. He remarked that Siraj relishes the big stage and thrives when the pressure is at its peak. "I think Siraj likes being the leader of the attack. He is one of those guys that he wants the ball in big situations. Yes, he makes mistakes, but he doesn't shy away from wanting the occasion. If you have players like that who aren't afraid to make mistakes, who can get under the skin of opposition because of the way that they want to be in the game, they are the guys you want," He added. 'No way in the world Siraj didn't want to bowl every over' Siraj picked up three wickets on Day 5 at the Oval when India needed four wickets to win as Haddin emphasised how he wanted to bowl every over to help his team win the match. "He wanted the ball in that last hour of play. There's no way in the world he didn't want to bowl every over to win the game. He dropped the catch. That's a bad miss, your details got to be better there when you are catching that. But that also didn't define him by the Test match. We are not going to talk about that catch now," he concluded.
