Shubman Gill's appointment as India's T20I vice-captain for the Asia Cup 2025 has garnered praise from legendary batsman Sunil Gavaskar.
Gavaskar lauded Gill's maturity and recent performances, including his impressive run in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy where he was the highest run-scorer. He believes the vice-captaincy signals Gill's potential to lead the T20 side in the future.
Gill's return to the T20I squad after a year-long absence and his current role as India's Test captain further emphasizes the selectors' confidence in his leadership abilities.
““He scored over 750 runs just a couple of weeks ago. You cannot exclude a player in that kind of form. Giving him the vice-captaincy is also a way of telling him that in the future, he could be leading the T20 side. I think it’s a very, very good selection,””
