Gill, who last played a T20I match for India in July 2024, has been appointed as India’s vice-captain. With Suryakumar Yadav turning 35 in a few days, the BCCI is considering Gill for the captaincy in the shortest format as well. The 25-year-old batter recently took over as Test captain in a series against England.
“See, Indian cricket is run in a particular way. And it will be run in a particular way. It is not what people outside of it think. Not the media or the fans. It is much like the engine of the train,” Pathan told RevSportz.
It Isn’t a Long-Term Solution - Irfan Pathan on Split Captaincy
Irfan Pathan also said that having three captains for three different formats isn’t a long-term solution. Pathan stated that Shubman Gill will take over the captaincy across all formats in the future, considering his success in the IPL and England series.
"Yes, he will improve and get better. And he isn’t captaining only from the England series. He has captained in the IPL and done well. Now, he is India’s red-ball captain and did well in England. I don’t see it as a problem if he is given captaincy across formats in the future.”
