Ex-Cricketer Compares Gill's Snub to Srikkanth Over Gavaskar for T20 World Cup

  • WV Raman criticizes Shubman Gill's T20 World Cup exclusion, stating it's not due to Gill's fault but a preference for "explosive" players.
  • Raman likens the selection committee's decision to choosing K Srikkanth over Sunil Gavaskar for the T20 format.
  • Gill was previously made opener and vice-captain before 2025 Asia Cup, leading to Sanju Samson and Axar Patel's initial exclusion.
  • For the World Cup, Samson and Patel were reinstated, reverting to the pre-Asia Cup strategy.
  • Raman advises Gill to understand the decision is based on team composition, not his individual performance.

Why It Matters: WV Raman suggests Shubman Gill's T20 World Cup snub prioritizes explosiveness over all-round skill.
