Why Shubman Gill Has Not Been Picked in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 Squad? Reason Revealed

Cricket fans were surprised to see Shubman Gill’s name missing from India’s main squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. While Rohit Sharma captains the team with Hardik Pandya as his deputy, Gill’s exclusion has sparked debate.

The Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee ultimately named him among four reserve players, alongside Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, and Avesh Khan. For the opening slot, they have picked the man in form, Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Reason Behind Shubman Gill’s Exclusion from India’s T20 World Cup 2024 Squad?

Shubman Gill‘s recent T20I performances likely played a significant role in the decision. Despite his talent, his underwhelming form, with just 133 runs in the last eight innings, seems to have convinced the selectors otherwise.

With the T20 World Cup 2024 set to begin on June 2nd, the focus now shifts to the opening match between USA and Canada. India’s campaign kicks off on June 5th against Ireland, followed by their highly anticipated clash against Pakistan on June 9th, both in New York.
