Asia Cup 2025 India Squad – India Selector on board to name Shubman Gill All Format Captain
The former Indian selector Devang Gandhi has raised concerns about the current national cricket team of India with separate captains for the three formats of the game. Currently, Rohit Sharma is the captain of the ODI of India, Shubman Gill heads the test team and Suryakumar Yadav Capitains The T20i team.
This is the opposite of the traditional approach to Indian cricket. India has already believed that it has already believed it has only one captain for the three formats of the game to avoid any confusion. However, the BCCI had to move away from its long -standing policy of “no captain” last year.
Devang Gandhi questions the system to three captains of India
The Indian Cricket team had to adopt a system with two captains after Rohit retired from the T20i cricket after the triumph of the T20 2025 ICC World Cup in the United States and the Caribbean. Later, Suryakumar Yadav took office as Captain T20i, while Rohit continued to carry out in tests and Odi.

But in May 2025, Shubman Gill succeeded Rohit as a test captain after the hitman called time in his career in the longest format of the match. Since Rohit is still active in the ODIs, India now has three captains for the first time in its history, which has already raised many eyebrows.
Now, Devang Gandhi has criticized the formula of captain of BCCI captain and supported Shubman Gill to lead the Indian Cricket team in all formats. He believes that the BCCI should plan in the long term, in particular to decide who captain of the T20I team after the T20 2026 World Cup.
Devang Gandhi supports Shubman Gill as an all-format captain of India
Gandhi said that Gill had been treated for leadership under Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, just as they were guided under MS Dhoni. Over the years, the current test captain has become a reliable striker in all formats, and his performances show that he is able to manage pressure.
Devang Gandhi was quoted by the Times of India: “Shubman Gill built an aura similar to what Virat had in 2017. Virat was treated under MS Dhoni. Gill is also at his peak, like Virat. In a leadership role in T20.

The captain to share does not work in India: ex-selector
India has won all ICC trophies under all-format captains since the early 2000s. And the former Indian selector believes that this approach gives the team stability and consistency. Gandhi wants the BCCI to return the captain’s three formats to Shubman Gill after his impressive captain in England, where the young team leveled the 2-2 test series.
Gandhi signed by saying: “Unlike other countries, the captain’s captain does not work in India in the long term because you want stability in the thought process. When you have an all prolific player leading in a format, it becomes difficult not to give him the same responsibility in the other format.
