Shubman Gill has made his T20I comeback as the vice-captain in the Asia Cup 2025, but he has failed to live up to the hype and expectations. India’s Test and ODI captain is currently facing heavy criticism due to his poor form, as he has not scored a fifty in his last 16 T20I games.

AB de Villiers said on his YouTube channel, “Shubman's failed once or twice, and now all of a sudden we talk about replacing him. Be a bit patient with him. We need someone like him because you have so many aggressive batters in that lineup.”
I wouldn't replace Gill: AB de Villiers
He further explained, “Yes, Jaiswal is one of the best; there is a place for him, but I would not put him in for Gill. I will move Gill to three and have Jaiswal open. But then you will have two left-handers, and maybe the bowlers can work them over.

AB de Villiers in awe as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's magic continues in ODIs
The Proteas legend pointed out that both Rohit and Kohli are still dominating the game despite not playing much cricket, having retired from Test and T20I cricket. He also hailed their decision to retire from both formats, as both Kohli and Rohit aim to play in the ICC World Cup 2027.
De Villiers signed off by saying, “Rohit and Virat at the top—is that not wild? They are not playing a lot of cricket these days but are No. 1 and 2 in the world. I'm not a big fan of rankings, but it just shows what kind of class India has in that ODI setup. Going into the World Cup, to have these two at the top is phenomenal. I think they've made a good decision to put emphasis on the ODI format, keeping in mind the World Cup is around the corner.”
