Centurion: India opener Gautam Gambhir has been made the vice-captain of the Indian cricket team replacing middle-order batsman Yuvraj Singh who was ruled out of the Champions Trophy with a finger injury.
Yuvraj fractured his right-hand finger during a training session today and has been advised rest for six weeks. The stylish left-hander will return home and Delhi middle-order batsman Virat Kohli has been named as his replacement.
Following Yuvraj's injury, Gambhir, who himself is recuperating from a groin injury, was named the vice-captain of the team.
India will open their campaign against arch rivals Pakistan on September 26.
