The moment Shubman Gill came as a vice-captain, Sanju Samson was always going to find it difficult to get into the XI: Ravi Ashwin

R. Ashwin stated that Shubman Gill's vice-captaincy guaranteed his spot, making it "always difficult" for Sanju Samson to find a place in the T20I XI. Ashwin noted that Gill's opener role pushed Samson out of his preferred spot and led to Jitesh Sharma being preferred as a specialist finisher.
