IND vs ENG: Ponting backs Gill as Test captain, suggests ideal batting spot

Ricky Ponting believes Shubman Gill’s captaincy is a smart move for India’s Test team as they transition post-Rohit and Kohli. He suggests Gill batting at No.4 could ease pressure, with Jaiswal and Sudharsan opening. Ponting is optimistic about India’s young talent and advocates for Arshdeep Singh’s inclusion in the first Test, citing his skills and suitability to the Dukes ball.
