The Indian team is playing intra-squad matches ahead of the five-match Test series against England starting on June 20. During this, India's chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav is very impressed with the behavior of his team's new Test captain Shubman Gill. Yadav said that Shubman Gill knows very well how to lead the team. After Rohit Sharma's sudden retirement from Test cricket, 25-year-old young batsman Shubman Gill is set to captain in international cricket for the first time. He has his first test in England, which is going to be very difficult. Now we have to see what he can do?

During the intra-squad match being played between India vs India A in Beckenham, Kuldeep Yadav said that Shubman Gill knows how to lead. He has played alongside many captains, including Rohit Sharma, and has learned a great deal from them. What I have seen in him now is very impressive. Gill is focusing on raising the team spirit. As a team leader, he is very motivated. In the last 3-4 seasons, I have seen qualities like a senior in him. He is now fully prepared to lead the team.

At the same time, after the retirement of R Ashwin, better performance will be expected from Kuldeep Yadav. He appeared full of confidence due to the help from the pitch during the intra-squad match. Kuldeep is now spending more of his time with Ravindra Jadeja, who has the experience of playing 12 Tests in England, while Kuldeep has bowled only 9 overs in one Test here.

Kuldeep said about Jadeja, that I am really spending a lot of time with him. Not only on the field but also outside. It really helped me a lot in terms of strategy and in terms of field placement, which we are talking about. He has also given some hints. He is very important to me as a spinner. I have learned a lot from him. I associate with Jaddu bhai as a spin partner, which I like, and I enjoy it a lot.
