India's First Test Match Loss
India faced a setback in the first Test match at Leeds, losing to England by five wickets. This defeat puts England ahead in the five-match series taking place in the UK. Shubman Gill has been appointed as the captain for the Test format, stepping into the role after Rohit Sharma's retirement from Test cricket and Virat Kohli's decision to also retire from the format. In his debut as captain, Gill scored a century in the first innings but struggled to make a significant impact in the second.
Shubman Gill's Captaincy Debut
Shubman Gill, the latest addition to the elite group of Test captains, made a remarkable entry with a score of 147 against England at Headingley in 2025. His performance in the first innings was impressive, showcasing his skill and leadership. However, he was dismissed for just 8 runs on Day 4 of the match, concluding his first Test as captain with a total of 155 runs.
Virat Kohli's Historic Debut
In contrast, Virat Kohli holds the record for the highest runs scored by a player in their debut Test as captain, accumulating an impressive 256 runs across both innings. Kohli led India for the first time during the 2014 Adelaide Test against Australia, where he delivered a stellar performance with centuries in both innings. Although India lost narrowly, Kohli's remarkable debut remains a significant moment in Test cricket history.
