Amit Mishra, a former Indian spinner, expressed his candid opinion on Tuesday regarding the selection of India's T20I captain for the Zimbabwe series. He stated that his choice would not have been Shubman Gill, but rather Ruturaj Gaikwad. Mishra, a veteran of 22 Tests, 36 ODIs, and 10 T20Is for India, confessed that the decision to name Shubman as captain caught him off guard. Shubman guided India to a convincing 4-1 series victory in the recently concluded T20I series against Zimbabwe.
