NEW DELHI: With India preparing to take on England in a highly anticipated five-match Test series starting June 20, all eyes are on newly appointed Test captain Shubman Gill The 25-year-old, who also captains the Gujarat Titans in the IPL , is now leading India into a new era of red-ball cricket following the retirement of veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.Speaking to the media ahead of the first Test at Leeds, Gill made a bold and honest statement that instantly caught attention.When asked whether winning an IPL title or a Test series in England holds more significance, the young skipper didn’t hesitate.“Definitely the test series, in my opinion. You know, you don't get many opportunities as a captain to be able to come to England, maybe two, if you are the best of your generation, maybe three,” Gill replied.“IPL comes every year and you get to go have a crack at it every year. So, in my opinion, winning a test series in England, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa are bigger.”Shubman Gill (C), Rishabh Pant (VC & WK), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd.
