Shubman Gill Set to Hit Jackpot After IPL 2025! BCCI Ready to Give Him Major Role in Team India

Shubman Gill's team Gujarat Titans, is in great form in IPL 2025. Apart from that, Captain Shubman Gill is also batting brilliantly. He is the only captain to score more than 400 runs in this IPL so far. After the IPL, Shubman Gill is likely to get a big responsibility in Team India for the England tour. Team India has to play a 5-match Test series in England after the IPL 2025.

Gill Could Become Vice-Captain for England Tour

Team India, led by Rohit Sharma, will tour England after IPL 2025 to play a 5-match Test series. Earlier reports suggested that fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah may miss this series. Sources close to Team India told The Indian Express that, "We need a player who is available for all five Test matches, and he should be given the vice-captain role. Bumrah will not play all five matches, so we don't want to appoint different vice-captains for each game. It would be better if the captain and vice-captain are confirmed and play all five Tests."

Jasprit Bumrah, who was injured during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, missed the Champions Trophy 2025 and also missed the first few IPL matches due to his injury. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill is being considered a strong option for the vice-captain role for the England tour. Gill has shown great leadership in IPL 2025. Under his captaincy, the Gujarat Titans have played 10 matches, winning 7 and losing 3.

The world’s No. 1 ODI batter, Shubman Gill, will lead the Gujarat Titans in his second season as captain. Looking at his captaincy stats, Gill could lead Team India if Rohit Sharma is unavailable. Gill made his captaincy debut in the five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe in June 2024, right after India won the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. He had a superb series, scoring the most runs and helping India win 4-1.

He also made his IPL captaincy debut in 2024, leading Gujarat Titans after Hardik Pandya left the franchise. In the IPL, he has captained in 23 games, winning 13, losing 10, and having two matches end without a result.
