Shubman Gill Reacts to T20 World Cup Snub: "Everything Happens for a Reason"

  • Shubman Gill expressed calm and maturity after being excluded from India's 2026 T20 World Cup squad, stating he trusts his destiny and respects the selectors' decision.
  • He wished the Suryakumar Yadav-led T20 team success in the World Cup, hoping they win the tournament.
  • Gill's omission surprised many, especially after his return to the T20I setup and talks of him becoming an all-format leader.
  • Despite regular chances, Gill struggled to make a strong impact in T20Is, failing to produce big scores and not hitting a fifty for several months.
  • Chief selector Ajit Agarkar clarified that Gill's exclusion was due to team combination, prioritizing wicketkeepers at the top, with Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan selected.

Why It Matters: Shubman Gill accepts his T20 World Cup omission with grace, focusing on future ODI commitments.
