Gill, who is set to be India's vice-captain even in the Champions Trophy, said India captain Rohit Sharma had told him to give his inputs without any hesitation

Rohit Sharma's future as India's Test captain appears uncertain following a disappointing performance in Australia, where the team suffered a 3-1 loss in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Earlier in the first match of the ODI series, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer's mouthwatering fifties helped India clinch a four-wicket win over England at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. With the win in Nagpur, Team India took a 1-0 lead over England in the ODI series.

India’s vicecaptain Shubman Gill on Tuesday defended their performance in the Test rubber loss in Australia, saying that one poor series does not define a team and that it is unfair to criticise a side after a rare bad outing.

India rode on Shubman Gill's 87, Shreyas Iyer's 59 and 52 from Axar Patel to win the first game by four wickets. Chasing England's 248, India romped home in 38.4 overs.
