The press conference was scheduled to take place at 12:30 PM IST, but it was delayed for around 2.5 hours. This was because Rohit Sharma, Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir were involved in a meeting that was very lengthy and made many wait for long.
The reports claimed that there was a conflict of choice between Rohit, Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir. The India National Cricket Team skipper and selector wanted Shubman Gill to be the vice-captain, while the head coach backed all-rounder Hardik Pandya to take over the role.
