Shubman Gill, after being named India's vice-captain for the T20 Asia Cup, shared vacation pictures on Instagram, showcasing a relaxing time on what appears to be a yacht. This follows his return to the T20I squad after a year, boosted by his captaincy in the Test series against England. Selectors, including Ajit Agarkar, highlighted Gill's leadership abilities, trusting him under Suryakumar Yadav.
