- •Head coach Gautam Gambhir remained silent at Delhi Airport when questioned about Shubman Gill's exclusion from the T20 World Cup squad.
- •Vice-captain Shubman Gill was dropped due to poor T20 form (291 runs in 15 innings, no fifties) and an ankle injury.
- •Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma were named openers, with Axar Patel becoming the new T20 vice-captain.
- •Suryakumar Yadav, despite worse form (218 runs in 19 innings), retained his spot due to captaincy, as per a PTI report.
