The event saw the attendance of players from the men\u2019s team, the women\u2019s team, and the under-19 team, alongside BCCI officials.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Amidst the celebrations of these cricketing achievements, fans quickly identified a significant error by the event\u2019s official broadcasters. During a segment where the captains of the men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams were invited on stage for a discussion, Harmanpreet Kaur shared her thoughts on her team\u2019s historic World Cup victory last year, while Suryakumar Yadav discussed India\u2019s recent T20 World Cup triumph.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">However, the mistake occurred when Gill was asked about India\u2019s Champions Trophy victory. The on-screen graphics incorrectly displayed his designation as the title \u2018Winning Captain, ICC Champions Trophy 2025.\u2019<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">India clinched the Champions Trophy by defeating New Zealand in the final, securing the title under Rohit Sharma\u2019s leadership. Gill was part of the squad. The opening batter was later promoted as the new ODI skipper, ahead of the tour of Australia, where Rohit and Virat Kohli played under his leadership.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Fans on social media were quick to notice the error and took to trolling the broadcasters for the blunder. Later, the BCCI removed that clip from their official handle.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"hi\">Ye kya Bhai bcci walo kuch to Sharam kar liya Karo gill kab captain tha champion trophy mein winning captain dikha raho champion trophy ka .. wo bol aisa rha hai jaise wahi captain tha\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BAW1TpXLiI\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/BAW1TpXLiI<\/a>\u2014 Sudhanshu Rao Chandel Rajput (@qZub76dgqPkCbaj) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/qZub76dgqPkCbaj\/status\/2033202865272193046?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">March 15, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This fraud was not the winning captain.\u2014 Atharva Pulujkar (@atharvap99) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atharvap99\/status\/2033203935691816969?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">March 15, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">How can you mention him as winning captainRohit was captain right?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RK (@rakkeshrajaram) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rakkeshrajaram\/status\/2033207730727739782?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">March 15, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Winning captain Rohit Sharma\u2026.

C. K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award, the highest accolade given by the BCCI, for their remarkable contributions to Indian cricket.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">Additionally, India\u2019s five trophy-winning teams were celebrated: the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, the 2025 Women\u2019s ODI World Cup, the 2025 U-19 Women\u2019s World Cup, the 2026 Men\u2019s U-19 World Cup, and the 2026 T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>First Published:<\/p>\n<p>March 15, 2026, 22:09 IST<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/cricket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cricket<\/a>   &#8216;Shubman Gill, Champions Trophy Winning Captain&#8217;: Massive Blunder Leaves Rohit&#8217;s Fans FumingDisclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
