Team India’s newly-appointed Test captain, Shubman Gill, has said that no decision has been taken yet on where he would bat in the batting order as well.

“We still have some time, we will be playing an intra-squad and have a 10-day camp in London. We will decide the batting order once we are there,” Gill said on Thursday, June 5 (via Indian Express) in the press conference. “It was very overwhelming, at the same time it was a big responsibility and looking forward to this great challenge.”

However, Shubman Gill will be leading the Test team after the retirements of the veteran duo – Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. He also said that while they had played for the team for a long time, the players were not under any different kind of pressure as well.

“Pressure is always there in every tour. Definitely, two very experienced players who played for such a long time and won so many times, very difficult to fill their space. But it is not a different kind of pressure, all of us players are used to it,” Shubman Gill concluded.
