Jaiswal or Brook: The Future of Test Cricket?

With cricket's established stars entering the latter stages of their careers, a new cohort of talented players is emerging to shape the future of Test cricket. Among the most talked-about are Shubman Gill, Harry Brook, and Rachin Ravindra, all tipped for significant success over the next decade.

Mark Waugh, a former Australian opener, has identified Shubman Gill as his predicted next superstar batsman. Waugh pointed to Gill's already impressive Test record, including a double century and an average nearing 50 at the young age of 24. Gill has amassed 2,511 runs in 28 matches in under three years.

However, Michael Vaughan, England's ex-captain, champions Harry Brook for the title. Vaughan noted Brook's all-format prowess and potential for "extraordinary innings" over the next ten years, despite Brook's slightly more extensive Test career of 3,052 runs in 34 matches. Both veterans agree a generational shift is underway.
