Rishabh Pant lost captaincy, the biggest loss after getting 27 crores!
IPL 2025 has been very bad for Rishabh Pant. This player is neither able to score runs nor is the team Lucknow Supergiants performing well. Now there is news that Rishabh Pant has also lost the captaincy of Team India. A big news came in the midst of IPL 2025 that Shubman Gill could be the next vice-captain of the Test team.
Meanwhile, the big news is that Rishabh Pant is also going to lose the chance to captain Team India.
Know what is the whole matter?
Jasprit Bumrah will not be able to play all five matches in the England Test series due to his fitness, so Gill will be given the role of vice-captain. At the same time, Test captaincy seems to be going into Gill's hands in the future as well. But this good fortune could have been achieved by Rishabh Pant as well, but suddenly everything seems to be slipping out of the hands of this player.
Neither the captaincy nor the bat is working
Rishabh Pant was bought by Lucknow Supergiants at a record-breaking price of 27 crores so that he could make the team a champion. But this player could neither bat well nor captain well. Pant scored only one half-century in 11 innings this season. He has been out on 0 twice. He has a total of 6 single digit scores to his name.
Not only this, he seems to be failing on the captaincy front as well. The tension of his poor performance with the bat is visible on his face. He is also seen shouting at the bowlers.

It is clear that Rishabh Pant is seen falling apart under pressure and this is ending his claim for the captaincy of the Test team. On the other hand, Shubman Gill has staked his claim not only for the Test vice-captaincy but also for the captaincy from the IPL itself.
Gill's batting and captaincy won hearts
Shubman Gill's batting and captaincy have been amazing in this IPL. He has scored 465 runs in 10 matches at an average of more than 50. His strike rate is also more than 162. The world is also praising his leadership quality.\

Summary
Gujarat's team is at number four in the points table and the team has won 7 out of 10 matches. It is clear that such a performance of Gill's captaincy is strengthening his claim to become the captain of the Test team. Team India has to tour England next month and the team is going to be announced this month. Now it remains to be seen what is written in the future of Pant and Gill?
