India’s Test team has already entered a bold new era led by Young Guns Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant, and former England captain Michael Vaughan said that its future weight is now on three young shoulders.
With Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retiring from Test cricket, Vauan believes that Shubman Gill, Yashsvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant will now have to carry forward the Indian cricket team and its legacy. He also believes that India is no longer in the phase of infection, but is in a complete change.
Michael Vauan says
Cricket Pandit has emphasized that Gill, Jiswal and Pant should collectively take charge of Indian Test cricket, like Virat Kohli during his golden phase, when he took the team almost on his own in all three formats of the game.

Michael Vaughan was told by PTI: “He (Gill, Jaiswal, and Pant) now have to pull this Indian test team forward as Virat did a single-hand. There is a group of them that I see I see that play the game correctly.”
However, von has made it clear that the initial success does not guarantee long -term greatness, and for India’s youth army, the mission is not just to win a few matches or chains, but to make something reputed.
Virat Kohli’s legacy will not be easy: Michael Vaughan
He mentioned that Kohli’s leadership was not only about runs, but it was also about energy, hunger and dominance. Under Kohli’s captaincy, India became the number one Test team and set a record at both home and far.
Therefore, von said that it is now dependent on the calm control of Gill, the fearless intentions of Jaiswal, and the explosive nature of the pants, to shape a new Indian era, what Kohli created by Kohli can cross.
Von further mentioned, “He has got a big opportunity to do what Virat Kohli had done for the Indian testing team in a few years. If he could pass anywhere, whatever he brought in the Test match team-the energy and number-one situation for such a long period-the ways have done a civilized work for such a long period.”

Michael Won says Shubman Gill may develop into a captain, but Virat Kohli’s aura and intensity are irreparable.
Meanwhile, India may have a lot of young talents, but the former England captain believes that it will not be easy to replace Virat Kohli’s aura and energy. However, Vaughan praised Gill’s strong start as Captain and Batter, but said that Kohli’s intensity and leadership would take time to change.
Von further said, “You cannot move forward suddenly after two legends retired or exiting the team. Shubman made an incredible start as a captain and an incredible start. He is a wonderful player. In terms of batting, I don’t think the team will struggle a lot.”
The commentator feels that Gill has the ability to grow collectively, but filling Kohli’s shoes will never be easy. He signed, saying, “This is a competitive energy that Virat brought to the test team. He just brought the discussion and the intensity you need. Cleverly, it was very good. It would be something that could be better than years as Shubman captain.”
