Former India spinner R Ashwin weighed in on the subject and praised the selectors for his or her ‘futuristic transfer’ earlier than including that the choice hinted on the selectors doubtlessly contemplating Gill as a future captain.
“Just think about whom else we can appoint as vice-captain from the current squad. I will not say whether the decision to appoint Gill was right or wrong, but the point that was raised was correct that he was the vice-captain in the last series as well. I could be wrong, but I guess he’s done some vice-captaincy in Tests as well. I think this decision is a futuristic call as the management might be thinking about who could be their leader in the future,” Ashwin stated on his YouTube channel.
Ashwin additional stated that Gill was the precise alternative as a result of he could possibly be thought of a daily within the taking part in XI. Within the case of different contenders like Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel, they’re combating for his or her spot.
“Axar Patel has been named as the vice-captain for the upcoming T20I series against England. There’s stiff competition between Axar and Jadeja about which one out of the two will play in the XI. If we look at Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul, the latter is an incumbency keeper.
“There could be a possibility that both Pant and Rahul play but they’ve given the vice-captaincy to the player whose place in the playing XI is confirmed. If Shubman goes on to become a captain in the future, then he can lean on Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah to guide him,” he added.
