What's Next For Gill, Team India? 

The Indian team will travel to Australia for a white-ball tour where they will play three ODIs and five T20Is. 

Gill, who is the ODI captain would be in the spotlight as seniors like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli are making an international comeback. It would be interesting to see how Gill manages the two stalwarts of Indian cricket. Also, Gill's form in T20Is has been a concern, he would certainly like to get among the runs in the shortest format with the World Cup around the corner.
