Shubman Gill has been named vice-captain of India's ODI and T20I teams. Ajit Agarkar, chairman of selectors, explained the decision, citing concerns over Hardik Pandya's fitness and coach Gautam Gambhir's hesitance to work with an injury-prone captain. With Rohit Sharma retiring from T20Is, Suryakumar Yadav was chosen as captain. Gill was picked over other candidates like Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul due to his all-format potential and recent performance. Agarkar emphasized the need for a stable leadership plan, especially with the upcoming T20 World Cup. Gill is seen as a future leader for India.
