System Fails India: Gill's Vice-Captaincy Creates Selection Bind

  • Shubman Gill has scored 263 runs in 14 T20I innings as opener since the 2025 Asia Cup, averaging 23.90 with no half-centuries.
  • The article suggests the team's "system" is at fault for Gill's struggles and the decision to replace Sanju Samson as opener.
  • Gill was controversially appointed vice-captain, reportedly at Gautam Gambhir's suggestion, despite his recent form.
  • His vice-captaincy makes it difficult for team management to drop him, creating a dilemma ahead of the T20 World Cup.
  • Team management continues to back Gill, citing his "class" and ability to bounce back despite a recent golden duck.
