Ex-Selector: Gambhir Key to Shubman Gill's T20 World Cup Snub, 'Not Known for Continuity'
- •A former national selector claims Gautam Gambhir played a crucial role in Shubman Gill’s T20 World Cup omission.
- •Gill, once promoted as an all-format player, failed to replicate Test form in T20Is, scoring only 32 runs in 3 matches recently.
- •The ex-selector called Gill's T20I return a 'wrong move' made at Sanju Samson's expense.
- •He suggested Gill's dropping was a 'course correction' by Ajit Agarkar's panel, influenced by Gambhir.
- •The selection committee, however, cited combination needs and a desire for two wicketkeepers (Samson, Ishan Kishan) as the reason.
Why It Matters: A former selector alleges Gautam Gambhir's influence led to Shubman Gill's T20 World Cup snub.
