Jasprit Bumrah to become India’s vice-captain in 2025 Champions Trophy: Reports

Star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is likely to be India’s vice-captain for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025, which will be held in Pakistan and the UAE. Bumrah will be Rohit Sharma’s deputy for the upcoming tournament ahead of players like Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya who have served as a vice-captain in the 50-over format in recent times. Pandya was appointed the vice-captain for the 2023 ODI World Cup before he was ruled out due to sustaining injury in the league stage match against Bangladesh.

On the other hand, young batter Shubman Gill got his first assignment as Indian captain during the T20I series against Zimbabwe in July. After that, he was appointed as vice-captain during the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Now, Jasprit Bumrah, who was a vice-captain in the recently ended Border-Gavaskar Trophy down under, can also be seen taking over the captaincy role for the upcoming Champions Trophy.
