Ravichandran Ashwin has expressed confidence in Shubman Gill's potential to shape the future of India's Test cricket. Ahead of the one-off Test against Afghanistan at the PCA New International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh, Ashwin praised Gill for his impressive performance and leadership during India's tour of England. He noted that Gill's technical adjustments, particularly in handling seaming conditions, have enhanced his batting prowess. Although Gill has yet to make a significant impact at home as captain, Ashwin anticipates a strong performance due to his refined technique. Additionally, Ashwin discussed the spin attack for the Afghanistan Test, indicating that Kuldeep Yadav will lead in the absence of Ravindra Jadeja, with Washington Sundar providing support. Ashwin also expressed interest in the possible Test debut of Harsh Dubey, highlighting his successful domestic season and IPL performance.
