Former Team India cricketer Suresh Raina believes opening batsman Shubman Gill being appointed as the side's vice-captain for the Champions Trophy 2025 is a move that speaks volumes about his potential as a leader.

Shubman Gill served as Team India's vice-captain in the white-ball series against Sri Lanka, last year. He retained the position for the ODIs against England and Champions Trophy 2025. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar stated that the 25-year-old has shown ample qualities to be appointed as Rohit Sharma's deputy.
