Former Indian spinner Amit Mishra on Tuesday minced no words while suggesting that he would not have selected Shubman Gill as India’s T20I captain for the ZIM vs IND series, instead favouring Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Mishra, who has represented India in 22 Test matches, 36 ODIs, and 10 T20Is, admitted that the choice of Shubman Gill as captain was unexpected. Notably, Gill successfully led India to a 4-1 series victory in the recently concluded ZIM vs IND series.
