Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant emerge as top contenders to be captain and vice-captain of India in Tests

Shubman Gill is likely to take over the reins of the Indian Test team, following Rohit Sharma's retirement from the format on May 7 through social media. Gill has emerged as the top contender as BCCI is unsure of handing Jasprit Bumrah the charge, who might not play all the Test matches, given the workload concerns, especially since he was coming off a three-month break from a back stress he sustained during the Sydney Test and hence, Gill is set to be unveiled as the new captain with Rishabh Pant being his deputy.
