As India embarks on a five-Test series against England, beginning on June 20 at Headingley, Shubman Gill has emerged as the leading candidate to succeed Rohit Sharma as the team's full-time Test captain.

Rohit Sharma took to Instagram to announce his retirement from Test cricket on Tuesday, May 7, 2025. This comes after several media outlets, including The Indian Express, reported in March that he will continue to lead India in Tests after a successful Champions Trophy campaign that saw India win a 50-over ICC trophy after 12 years.

Rohit Sharma has announced his retirement from Test cricket, ending speculation about his future in the format. The 38-year-old will continue to lead India in ODIs, having already retired from T20Is.
