Surya to lead, Gill is VC in both formats

Giving him company will be Shubman Gill, who has been named vice-captain for both formats, highlighting the selectors' confidence in his leadership abilities and his impressive performances in recent outings.

In the T20 format, the most striking omission is Hardik Pandya. As the designated vice-captain of India in the T20 World Cup, it was expected that the next logical step would be to make him captain.

According to ESPNcricinfo, "Fitness concerns and workload management tipped the scales." Pandya went on a lengthy break after a freak ankle injury during the ODI World Cup 2023. That was not all, even before that Pandya has often missed tournaments due to injuries. He staged a comeback, though, to the IPL."
