Agarkar, Surya Explain Gill's T20 WC Snub: 'Combinations' Key
- •Shubman Gill dropped from India's T20 World Cup squad despite recent vice-captaincy.
- •Chief selector Agarkar cited 'combinations' and Gill being 'short of runs' as reasons for exclusion.
- •Captain Suryakumar Yadav emphasized the need for a wicketkeeper at the top for team balance and different combinations.
- •Axar Patel returns as vice-captain; Rinku Singh and Ishan Kishan included in the squad.
- •Gill's recent lean patch in T20Is, scoring 291 runs at an average of 24.25 this year, was also noted.
Why It Matters: Gill's exclusion from T20 WC squad is due to team combinations and balance, not just form.
