Shubman Gill’s return to the Indian T20 team was a logical choice according to Sunil Gavaskar, who praised Gill’s success in the IPL and his recent performance in the Test series. Gill’s selection as vice-captain for the upcoming Asia Cup indicates his importance in the team. Gavaskar acknowledged the competition with Sanju Samson for a spot in the playing XI, with Samson likely to get the nod. Despite the strong competition, India is considered heavy favorites in the Asia Cup, having had a successful run in recent years. Gavaskar expressed confidence in India’s ability to comfortably win their matches, citing their strong form and performance against Pakistan. However, he noted that the Asia Cup format has evolved over the years, potentially losing some of its spark. Despite this, Gavaskar highlighted the excitement of T20 cricket and the unpredictability it brings. Overall, India’s strong team and recent success make them the team to beat in the upcoming Asia Cup.
