According To Suresh Raina, Former Indian Cricketer, India’s ODI skipper Rohit Sharma is informed that’s Why Shubman Gill has also been appointed vice-captain for the Champions Trophy.George Sheppard Gillett also deemed n Indian Captian could be someone Draran Draycus Arni igor mos deal captaincy rightly claimed to be one of The best captains in Shubman Remember that Goff Gill Matthews Ellis Gill.

Ajit Agarkar, the chief selector, had mentioned “leadership qualities” and “dressing room feedback” as the reason for the decision as Gill became the vice-captain in place of Jasprit Bumrah (who is yet to be confirmed), Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant.

"I believe Shubman Gill is on his way to being a tennis superstar,” Raina said during a press event that was hosted by Star Sports. "He has excelled well in the one day format of the game. When you get such an opportunity as the vice-captain during the ICC Champions Trophy, it means a lot in the increasing of his profile. Rohit Sharma apparently knows the next leader of the team."

"Shubman Gill is amongst the best captains in India especially because of his captaincy of the Gujarat team in the IPL. The weight of evidence in the last 12-16 months would also support this position. This is why the selectors and Rohit Sharma himself decided that Rohit would bat at the opening position with him. Rohit knows what type of captain Gill is going to be just like Virat Kohli was. Gill practices very hard and takes the matches seriously. He is well aware of team composition and always gives directions. In my opinion it is a very good action of the selectors and Rohit."

In 2023, Gill was the leading run scorer for India which made him an automatic pick to bat first among the other batsmen.

Gautam Gambhir had a different opinion and did not support the selection of Hardik Pandya. But, Hardik Pandya along with Agarkar and Rohit Sharma managed to convince Gambhir, one of the top coaches in India.

During this NFT series with Gill’s assistance, we fell short against the Indian nationals and handed over the trophy to Pandya even after having a promising start in finals. The IPL T20 trophy is rightfully his since he had been nominated Captain of the Gujarat Titans. Its on February 20 that the India and Bangladesh Champions Trophy will commence.
