Shubman Gill's T20 World Cup Snub: Stayin' Chill, G
Yo, listen up! Shubman Gill was under the radar as India geared up for the T20 World Cup in early 2026. With a foot injury and just 291 runs in 15 matches, he got the boot, and Ishan Kishan stepped up to the plate. Gavaskar said it’s all good, just a little time to get that groove back, ya dig?
Quick rundown
- Gill's post-injury rhythm was off, nudging India to slot Kishan in for the World Cup tilt.
- Gavaskar calls Gill a 'class act' and hints a clarifying phone call is coming after the snub.
- Ajit Agarkar's decision reads like a course-correction rather than a final verdict for Gill.
- IPL form and the left-right opening duo drama with Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma shaped the squad shuffle.
- Gill isn't finished—he remains in India's future plans and in the mix for upcoming assignments.
