After all, who was the Vice Captain of Team India in T20I before Shubman Gill? For now, 153 games played for India

Team India team was announced for the Asia Cup 2025. On August 19, the BCCI’s Men’s Choice Committee announced a team of 15 players for the tournament. Shubman Gill returned to the T20 team in India and was also made under captains. He will be the Vice captain of Suryakumar Yadav in this multinational tournament. But do you know who was the Vice captain of Team India in T20 i format in front of Gill? Before Akshar Patel, Shubman Gill was the Vice Captain of the T20 team. Prior to the Asia Cup, India played its last T20 I series against England in February this year. In that series, Akshar Patel was appointed Vice Captain of the T20 team. The letters in front of Gill were the vice captains of India. But in the Asia Cup 2025, Akshar will only play as a player. This time this tournament is played in T20 format. Let’s tell you that Akshar Patel has played 153 matches in all three formats for India. Mohammad Kaif also tweeted about Akshar Patel. Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif also questioned it. He said that clarity should be sought from the selectors about the removal of Akshar Patel from the post of vice captain. Kaif tweeted on Instagram and wrote that I hope that Akshar Patel had to be told about the removal of the post of Vice captain and that he would not have received this information at the press conference. The letter did nothing wrong, so they must get clarity. In international cricket, Akshar Patel’s statistics against England performed well with the ball in the last T20 series. But he didn’t get much chance to bat there. In that series, Akshar took 6 wickets in five games at an average of 16.5. He has so far played 71 T20 matches for India. There he took 71 wickets at an average of 22.12. In addition, in 14 Tests, Akshar took 72 wickets in 68 ODIs and 55 wickets. Share this story -tags
