Shubman Gill's reinstatement to the role of T20 vice-captain signals a strategic move towards unified captaincy in Indian cricket, with significant implications for future leadership.
The coaching staff, led by Gautam Gambhir, has expressed confidence in Gill's capabilities, positioning him to potentially lead in the 2027 World Cup and 2028 Olympics. His ascent seems promising, particularly for his form in England.
However, this shift presents challenges for Sanju Samson, whose place in the squad appears precarious with the prospect of Rishabh Pant's return and the fierce competition from rising talents.
