Gautam Gambhir wants full control of Team India, only Jasprit Bumrah can stop that, Shubman Gill can't question: Report
After the retirement of captain Rohit Sharma and star batter Virat Kohli from Test cricket, India head coach Gautam Gambhir has reportedly asked the BCCI for full control of the team's proceedings. According to a Dainik Jagran report, Gambhir came into the setup with the idea of ending the superstar culture of Indian cricket. His first move was to come up with the 10-point diktat, forcing all players to feature in domestic cricket whenever available and behave in a certain way when on tours. The second phase was to build a side for the future. Gambhir reportedly was instrumental in phasing out Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from Test cricket. The dynamic duo announced their retirement in quick succession, a week before India's squad selection for the England tour, after Gambhir and chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar informed them about the team management's plans to go ahead with a younger squad. This is the first instance of a head coach playing an active role in the phasing out of two of the biggest stars of an Indian cricket team. Historically, Indian teams have been run by their captains. Coaches, no matter how big a name they are, have always stayed backstage, allowing the big players to take the lead. Take the recent examples of Ravi Shastri and Rahul Dravid. They were always associates of captains Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, rarely trying to challenge their authority. The report claimed that Gambhir's case was different. He had as much say in policy-making, squad selection, and other team-related matters as the captain, and now that Rohit, Kohli, and Ravichandran Ashwin have all retired, he is likely to be the one calling the shots. "In order to stop a repeat of the home-series defeat against New Zealand and the debacle in Australia, Gambhir has requested the board for full autonomy," the report added. The report further adds that he would have a captain in Shubman Gill, who is likely to listen to him as he is still young. He may be pitted as a future superstar but he still hasn't reached that stage where he can challenge Gambhir's calls. The only cricketer in the current Indian Test side who perhaps could have countered Gambhir's tactics and that is pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. Notably, Bumrah would have been an automatic choice to captain the Test side had his fitness not been a major concern. Bumrah was the designated vice-captain in Rohit Sharma's tenure and has even led India in three Tests in England and Australia. But because he is too precious as fast bowler and his workload needs to be managed, it was not possible to give him full-time captaincy. Therefore, Gambhir is likely to be the primo-supremo of the Indian Test side even if Gill is appointed the captain.

Shubman Gill is likely to take over as Test captain, with Rishabh Pant as vice-captain. Virat Kohli has also retired from Tests. read more In a surprising move, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from Test cricket last week.

Rishabh Pant is expected to become the vice-captain. Virat Kohli retires from Test cricket Meanwhile, in another shocker, India batter Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket on Monday. Kohli took to his official Instagram handle to share the news with his friends and followers. Just like Rohit, Kohli will now only be available for selection in ODI cricket for India. Both players had hung up their boots in T20Is after winning the 2024 T20 World Cup. India's first challenge without the services of Ro-Ko in Tests will come against England. India are scheduled to play a five-match series against the Three Lions starting 24 June. It will mark the start of the new cycle of the World Test Championship (WTC) for India.

Rohit Sharma forced out of Tests? New report reveals BCCI's harsh call and Virat Kohli's 'personal' exit plan
The Indian cricket world has been in turmoil over the past few days, with two of its biggest stars — Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli — reportedly stepping away from Test cricket. While Rohit's retirement has been made official, Kohli's decision remains in limbo as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) urges him to rethink. Amid the uncertain future of India's test cricket, a recent report has revealed behind-the-scenes conversations between Sharma, Kohli, and BCCI officials, shedding light on how the retirement discussions unfolded. BCCI told Rohit Sharma he's no longer in test plans According to a report in Dainik Jagran, Rohit Sharma's retirement wasn't a sudden decision. The BCCI had already communicated to him that he was no longer part of their Test plans. Though it was initially speculated that he was being sacked ahead of India's Test tour to England, it appears that he was shown the door by the management. However, Rohit may have already been unsure about his Test future, especially during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where he even dropped himself from the Sydney Test. His decision was revealed around the time of a BCCI meeting in Mumbai on May 7, where selectors, including chief Ajit Agarkar, discussed India's future red-ball plans. Rohit, 36, has now quietly exited the format, announcing his test retirement with just an Instagram story. Virat Kohli leaning toward retirement, BCCI urges delay The bigger shock for fans came with reports of Virat Kohli also informing the BCCI of his intention to retire from Test cricket. While Kohli has not yet made a public announcement, sources say he has communicated his desire to step away. However, top BCCI officials have asked him to hold off, especially with the high-stakes five-match Test series against England just around the corner. For now, the board is leaving the decision to him, acknowledging that such calls are personal. A report by The Indian Express stated that Kohli, 35, has been contemplating this move since the end of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where his performances drew heavy criticism. Shubman Gill likely to lead India in Tests With Rohit gone and Kohli potentially next, the BCCI is looking ahead. Shubman Gill has emerged as the frontrunner to take over India's red-ball captaincy. The young batter, currently leading Gujarat Titans in the IPL, is also the vice-captain in limited-overs formats and is seen as someone with leadership potential.

BCCI Told Rohit Sharma His Test Career Was Over, Virat Kohli's Call 'Personal' For Board: Report
As the Indian cricketing spectrum comes to terms with the possible exit of the stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from Test cricket, a report has shared behind-the-scenes details of the conversations that took place between all the involved parties. Parallel to a BCCI meeting in Mumbai on May 7, involving the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection committee chief Ajit Agarkar, Rohit's announcement of Test retirement was made public. A bigger bomb was dropped on Indian fans after reports of Kohli informing the board of a similar intention was made. However, a report in Dainik Jagran has now claimed that Rohit was informed of the decision by the BCCI well in advance.

But, the paper also mentions that the BCCI doesn't want to intervene too much in the call, suggesting that the decision to retire is a personal one. Rohit was already on the verge of retiring from the longest format after a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where he also dropped himself from the Sydney Test. While he is already gone, Kohli could soon follow his footsteps and quit the format he loves the most. Among Rohit's potential captaincy successors, Shubman Gill 's name sits on top of the wishlist.
