India Skips T20 World Cup Reserves; Gill Out, Kishan In for 2026
- •BCCI won't name reserves for 2026 T20 World Cup as it's in India/Sri Lanka, allowing easy player access in emergencies.
- •Shubman Gill dropped due to inconsistent T20I form and low strike rate, prioritizing explosive starts over steady accumulation.
- •Ishan Kishan recalled for aggressive batting and left-right combination after strong Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy performance.
- •Rinku Singh retained as specialist finisher; Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jitesh miss out on selection.
- •Selectors emphasize power-hitting with Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar, Tilak Varma, and Ishan in the batting order.
Why It Matters: India opts for no T20 World Cup reserves, dropping Gill for Kishan to boost aggressive batting.
