Shubman Gill Named India's T20I Vice-Captain for Asia Cup 2025

Shubman Gill has been named vice-captain of the Indian T20I team for the Asia Cup 2025. This announcement comes as a significant boost for the young cricketer, who recently took over as India's Test captain.

Gill's impressive form during the England tour, where he amassed crucial runs, played a key role in his selection. The selectors see him as a dependable option in the top or middle order, capable of both anchoring the innings and accelerating when needed. This appointment also suggests that Gill is being groomed for a larger leadership role in the future.

While there was speculation about Gill's place in the squad, his leadership in the India-England Test series and consistent batting performances solidified his position. The Asia Cup, starting September 9th in the UAE, will be a crucial platform for Gill to showcase his leadership abilities and contribute to India's success in the tournament.
