Ashwin Fears Gill's Vice-Captaincy Could Cause Low Strike Rate

  • R Ashwin expressed concern over Shubman Gill's poor form and his role as vice-captain.
  • Gill has scored only 291 runs in 2025 at an average of 24.25, without a single half-century since September.
  • Ashwin stated that dropping a vice-captain mid-series would be a difficult decision, impacting players like Sanju Samson.
  • Ashwin hopes Gill doesn't prioritize saving his spot by scoring runs at a lower strike rate.
  • Ashwin also noted India's unsettled best XI for the 2026 T20 World Cup, with only two months remaining.

Why It Matters: Gill's poor form as vice-captain creates a major team selection problem for India.
