India's Vice-Captaincy Debate in Asia Cup: Sunil Gavaskar Offers Direct Perspective on Shubman Gill and Axar Patel
India Announces Squad for Asia Cup T20I Tournament
India is set to participate in the Asia Cup T20I tournament, which begins on September 10 and concludes on September 28 in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The tournament, a continental tournament featuring eight teams, will be the first major international cricket event since the 2023 World Cup.
The Men in Blue will kick off their Asia Cup T20I campaign against the UAE on September 10, and they will face Pakistan on September 14. India is in Group 'A' along with Pakistan, Oman, and the UAE.
The selection of the vice-captaincy for the Asia Cup T20I tournament has been a topic of debate, but the BCCI Senior Men's Selection Committee has made its decision. Shubman Gill, who has impressed with his performance in England and the IPL, has been appointed as the vice-captain.
Gill's impressive run in England, where he scored over 750 runs, has earned him this position. He led the side for the first time in England and handled pressure well, according to Sunil Gavaskar. Gavaskar has announced that Gill will be the deputy to India captain Suryakumar Yadav in the T20 format.
Sunil Gavaskar believes that Gill's vice-captaincy is a sign that he could be the future T20I captain for India. He emphasized that once the team is declared, it is everyone's shared duty to support that team rather than stir up pointless controversies.
India's squad for the Asia Cup 2025 includes Suryakumar Yadav (C), Shubman Gill (VC), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson (WK), Harshit Rana, Rinku Singh.
Following the Asia Cup T20I tournament, India is set to compete in 15 T20I matches as they prepare for next year's T20 World Cup, which will take place in India and Sri Lanka in February.
The Asia Cup T20I tournament promises to be an exciting event, and the Indian team, under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav and with Shubman Gill as the vice-captain, will aim to bring home the trophy.
