Shubman Gill News / Gill did wonders like Sourav Ganguly, but Rahul Dravid's magic is yet to come

Shubman Gill News: Shubman Gill was made the captain of the Indian Test team for the first time when the BCCI entrusted him with this responsibility for the series against England. At that time many questions were being raised whether this responsibility would prove right on the shoulders of such a young player. When the Indian team lost the first match to England under his captaincy, these questions became even more intense. But at the end of the series, Gill answered the critics by giving a satisfactory performance. He not only proved his captaincy, but also succeeded in finishing the series on a draw like Sourav Ganguly. However, the dream of repeating that charismatic performance of Rahul Dravid in 2007 is still unfulfilled.

First performance of Indian captains in England

Mohammad Azharuddin: Disappointing start

When Mohammad Azharuddin went to England for the first time as the captain of the Indian Test team, India had to face a 0-1 defeat in the three-match series. After losing the first match, the remaining two matches were drawn, due to which the series slipped out of their hands.

Sourav Ganguly: The thrill of a draw

The Indian team performed brilliantly in England under the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly. In his first series, both teams managed to win one match each, and the series ended in a draw. Ganguly caught everyone's attention with his aggressive captaincy.

MS Dhoni: Embarrassing defeat

The performance of the Indian team, which went to England for the first time under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, was very disappointing. In the four-match series, India had to face defeat in all the matches, and did not get a single win.

Virat Kohli: Great form, still defeat

When Virat Kohli went to England for the first time as captain, his batting was tremendous. He scored a lot of runs, but the team won only one match, while losing three out of four matches. This series is remembered for very close matches, but England won.

Rahul Dravid: Historic performance of 2007

Under the captaincy of Rahul Dravid, India won the Test series in England in 2007. In the three-match series, India won one match, and the other two were drawn, due to which India won the series 1-0. This was India's last Test series win in England.

Shubman Gill: Equaling Sourav Ganguly

Shubman Gill achieved a draw in England in his first Test series as captain. This achievement is as impressive as Sourav Ganguly's first series. After losing the first match, Gill did not give up and tied the series with his strategy and leadership. However, the dream of winning a series on England soil like Rahul Dravid is still unfulfilled.

What is the way forward?

Gill proved in his captaincy that he has the ability to lead. But the dream of winning a Test series in England has not been fulfilled since 2007. The challenge before Gill now is to create history like Dravid and make India a winner again in England. Fans are now waiting to see when Gill will turn this dream into reality.
