India vs England Tests: Shubman Gill is all set to make his debut as India's Test captain during the first match against England in Leeds, which begins on June 20. Gill will lead a new era in Indian cricket and will face the responsibility to see off the challenging transition phase.

The five-match Test series will also mark the beginning of India's campaign in the World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle. Life isn't going to be easy for Shubman, especially after the retirements of stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. A lot has been spoken about Gill's captaincy style and how he will handle the pressure of leading India overseas.

During the pre-match press conference, an English journalist asked Gill whether the style of play under his captaincy would be inspired by 'Bazball'. In response, Gill came with an interesting reply that has gone viral."You're going to have to wait till August to see what kind of style it's going to be," said the Indian captain. The response ended up getting a few laughs in the press room.

Gill, who takes over the leadership role from Rohit Sharma and will be leading India's batting, mentioned that taking 20 wickets is hugely important to secure victory in the traditional format.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Gill acknowledged that while runs remain vital, it's the bowlers who often determine the result in red-ball cricket.

"Yes, definitely in Test matches, if you want to win a Test match, you can't win a Test match without taking 20 wickets, no matter how many runs you score," Gill said.

"That has been one of our key discussion points, how we will take 20 wickets," he added.

The Indian think tank is also considering a balanced approach in their playing XI, according to Gill.

"There might be a case where we go with six pure batters, and you will see a bowling all-rounder and three-four premier fast bowlers," he noted.
