Ruturaj Gaikwad steps in as vice-captain after Riyan Parag was ruled out with a hamstring injury, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 15, is also included.
- On Sunday, the BCCI announced Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad replaced Rajasthan Royals skipper Riyan Parag in the squad for the upcoming tournament after Parag suffered a hamstring injury.
- The 29-year-old Gaikwad assumes vice-captain duties, while Parag will undergo rehabilitation at the BCCI Centre to recover from the injury.

- Gaikwad's selection reflects a fast-track plan for the player, who has recorded one century and one half-century in nine One-Day Internationals. Previously, Kolkata Knight Riders' Anukul Roy was added to the roster after Harsh Dubey's senior call-up.
