Vice-Captain Tag – All the Latest Updates

Welcome to the Vice-Captain hub on India Startup Digest. Here you’ll find fresh stories about vice-captains across cricket, IPL, and other sports. Whether you’re a fan tracking player roles or a budding leader looking for inspiration, this page gathers everything you need in one spot.

What Does a Vice-Captain Do?

A vice-captain is the second‑in‑command on a team. They back up the captain, step in when the captain is unavailable, and help keep the squad focused. In cricket, the vice‑captain often contributes tactical ideas, supports field placements, and may take over the on‑field duties if the captain is injured or off the field. The role isn’t just about stepping in; it’s about building trust, communicating with players, and maintaining the team’s spirit.

Recent Vice‑Captain Highlights

Our tag includes stories like the IPL 2025 match where rain threatened the KKR vs RCB clash. The vice‑captain of KKR, playing under pressure, helped the team adapt to changing conditions and keep the morale high despite the weather scare. Another piece spotlights Sanju Samson’s rise in ICC T20I rankings, where his leadership as a vice‑captain for India’s T20 side contributed to back‑to‑back centuries and a jump to 34th place.

We also cover off‑field moments. For example, the appointment of Ajit Chaturvedi as the Vice‑Chancellor of BHU illustrates how leadership titles cross over into academia, reminding us that the qualities of a good vice‑captain—decision‑making, support, and vision—are valuable everywhere.

Looking at the broader picture, weather alerts in Delhi and other regions often affect match schedules, and vice‑captains play a key role in briefing teammates about safety measures and game plan adjustments. Our coverage of the Delhi rains and the impact on flights also shows how logistics and leadership intersect.

Beyond cricket, the tag captures stories from different arenas—like the Timex Group’s stake sale or the RBI repo rate hold—where senior leaders act as vice‑captains in corporate settings, guiding teams through market volatility.
