(Reuters) -Newly-appointed India test skipper Shubman Gill said he wants to concentrate on his batting rather than the pressure of captaincy as his side prepares to start a new era following the retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

Kohli and Rohit, former captains and batting mainstays of the team, both quit tests weeks before the start of India's five-test series in England.
