The Indian cricket team's performances in Test cricket have experienced a drastic slip in quality, with home defeats against New Zealand and South Africa in the past year.

Indian Test captain Shubman Gill was dismissed for a two-ball duck during the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy clash between Punjab and Saurashtra on Thursday.

Former Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwary believes that Shubman Gill should be sacked as the ODI captain and that the BCCI should reappoint Rohit Sharma.

All eyes will be on Shubman Gill when Ranji Trophy resumes on Thursday after India's Test and ODI captain decided against taking a break and opting to turn up for Punjab against Saurashtra in a key Group B clash.

Shubman Gill was axed from India's T20 World Cup squad despite being the team's vice-captain.

Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif stated that India Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill has been burdened with too many responsibilities.

Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has urged fans to not read two much into the result of the ODI series defeat against New Zealand.

Shubman Gill dissected Shubman Gill's captaincy struggles in the ODI series against New Zealand, pointing out how MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma excelled in such situations.

Head coach Gautam Gambhir is facing significant criticism on social media after India's ODI series loss to New Zealand.

For the first time since 1988 in ODIs, New Zealand pulled off a series win in India, coming over a year after a 3-0 Test whitewash in 2024, which marked India's first Test series loss at home in 12 years.
