India’s second opening slot is wide open after Shubman Gill’s Asia Cup 2025 setback
The Asia Cup 2025 performances have intensified the competition for India’s second opening spot. Shubman Gill struggled in the tournament, which opened the door for other candidates. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson are already posing a serious threat to the vice-captain’s positions at the top.
He further noted, “The second opener slot is still very much open. As far as I am concerned, Yashasvi can be someone who can come up there. Sanju can certainly come up there.”
Vice-captaincy doesn't mean very much: Robin Uthappa
Uthappa emphasized that vice-captaincy in Indian cricket does not guarantee eventual promotion to full captaincy, citing the rapid changes in team dynamics and selection policies.
Uthappa signed off by saying, “I still think Gill needs to secure his spot first. So, I don't think it will be taken for granted in a sense where he will be captain or he will be next in line. We know, and we've seen Indian cricket change overnight; things change very quickly, and narratives change very quickly. Honestly, vice-captaincy in India doesn't mean very much… Like, you've seen a bunch of vice-captains not becoming captain, right?”
