Indian cricketers who could become bigger than Shubman Gill if given a chance

India are set to take on England in a five-match Test series, beginning on June 20 at Headingley. The Indian team will be led by newly appointed Test captain Shubman Gill, who is also set to lead one of the youngest and most inexperienced squads ever to tour English soil.

Gill has shown promise and leadership qualities, but several talented players have delivered strong performances on big stages, but were surprisingly left out of the squad. If given the opportunity, these players have the potential to outshine Gill and become future stars of Indian cricket. Here are three Indian cricketers who could become bigger than Shubman Gill if given a chance.

Here are the three Indian players who have the potential to become bigger than Shubman Gill if given a chance:

3. Ruturaj Gaikwad

Ruturaj Gaikwad has the potential to become a standout performer in Test cricket if given a consistent opportunity in the Indian squad. The right-handed batter has scored 2,632 runs in 65 First-Class innings at an average of 41.77. He made his debut for Maharashtra during the 2016–17 Ranji Trophy season, scoring a century and a fifty against Chhattisgarh, displaying his talent.

In the 2024–25 Ranji Trophy, Gaikwad demonstrated his consistency, scoring 330 runs in five innings at an average of 66.00. His strong domestic performances suggest that he has the technique required to succeed at the highest level.
