BCCI had identified Shubman Gill as Rohit Sharma’s successor as early as 2023

Shubman Gill is poised to become India's next all-format captain, with the BCCI identifying him as a long-term leader years ago. His recent appointment as T20I vice-captain solidifies this plan. Gill has already impressed as Test and ODI skipper, demonstrating strong leadership and exceptional performance under pressure, particularly during his record-breaking tour of England.
