Wasim Jaffer believes that Suryakumar Yadav’s position as India’s T20I captain is not under threat despite Shubman Gill’s rapid rise, but his inconsistency with the bat while leading the side remains a genuine concern, and he must address this before things slip from his hands.

Wasim Jaffer was quoted as saying by The Times of India, “His numbers dropping (while leading India) is a worry. His not getting the runs is a concern. In the last few internationals he played, he was looking to score mostly behind square on the leg side. His shot selection was not up to the mark.”
Wasim Jaffer hopes Suryakumar Yadav will silence his doubters
Jaffer further noted, “But he has since worked on his game, and as we saw, he was a completely different player in the IPL. He started scoring on the offside as well. When Surya plays shots all around the wicket, there’s not much the bowlers can do. He is very dangerous. Then there isn’t margin for the bowlers. He has done well in the IPL; hopefully, that should continue.”

He signed off by saying, “Every tour, every series, you have a vice-captain. It doesn’t mean the captain is under threat. Selectors have made it clear—Bumrah can’t play every series, so he’s out. Hardik? They’re not looking at him for now. That leaves Shubman and maybe Shreyas (Iyer) when he’s back.”
However, the former England spinner Monty Panesar said that the Indian selectors may move on from Suryakumar and hand the white-ball captaincy to Gill if he doesn't perform well or fails to win the 2025 Asia Cup. He also predicted that Gill would be India’s all-format captain once Rohit Sharma retires.
