Firstpost Ind V SA: What Is Gill’s Biggest Test After Australia Setback? | First Sports With Rupha Ramani

India V South Africa is underway, and all eyes are fixed on one man: Shubman Gill, the new captain of India’s Test team. The 26-year-old has already endured a trial by fire against England, but now comes a fresh challenge: switching formats, shouldering leadership, and walking into a high-pressure home Test series where expectations touch the sky. Gill is navigating a whirlwind month — captaining ODIs, playing under Suryakumar in T20Is, and now leading India’s red-ball brigade. But experts warn that it’s not the captaincy that will test him the most — it’s something else. Rupha Ramani breaks down the pressures, challenges, and the road ahead for India’s newest Test captain and what this moment could mean for his future.

Also on the show, football legend Lionel Messi’s India GOAT tour is generating massive buzz. Special packages are now available, and fans can meet their idol. But the price? Outrageous. From $11000 to $120,000, the fan experience has gone to a new level. The question is, will the organisers and Messi deliver, and will it pacify the Kerala snub situation? And Manchester United’s drought isn’t just impacting them but the fans, too. A fan has now gone a year without having a haircut. His request is simple – win five on the trot. Will United deliver, or will the fan be let down again?
