Shubman Gill's appointment as India's T20I vice-captain for the Asia Cup has sparked discussions about his potential to lead the team in the upcoming T20I World Cup.
While Suryakumar Yadav is currently captaining the team for the Asia Cup, Gill's elevation to vice-captaincy indicates that the selectors are considering him as a future leader. With seven months until the World Cup, there's ample time for further evaluation, but Gill's recent performances and leadership in the Test format have undoubtedly strengthened his claim.
The Asia Cup, starting September 9th in the UAE, will be a crucial tournament for Gill to demonstrate his leadership qualities and further solidify his position as a potential captain for the T20I World Cup.
