The BCCI announced a 15 -member team of India on Tuesday for the 2025 Asia Cup. Shubman Gill returned to the team as Vice Captain T20. After this, everyone wanted to know why and how Gill was suddenly handed over to Gill with vice -captain from Akshar Patel. Now a new update has come out on this matter.

It has been claimed in the report that Shubman Gill was not a contender for the vice -captain. He did not like the selectors’ wheels regarding the vice -captain of the T20 team. Head coach Gautam Gambhir recommended Shubman Gill’s name. The selectors took this decision after Gambhir’s strong support.

The report states that coach Gautam Gambhir was connected online in the selection meeting. Gambhir called Shubman Gill to be a future leader and demanded to make the vice -captain. After Gambhir’s strong support, the chairman of the selection committee Ajit Agarkar agreed to make Gill the vice -captain.
