T20 World Cup 2026: Kishan or Iyer? Gill's Spot in Doubt Amidst Form Concerns

• Ishan Kishan's stellar Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy performance (517 runs, 33 sixes, SR 197) and captaincy leading Jharkhand to victory make him a strong contender for T20 World Cup 2026.
• Shreyas Iyer, after leading Punjab Kings to the IPL final, is also being considered for a spot in Team India.
• Concerns persist over T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav's and Shubman Gill's poor form, with Gill potentially being dropped.
• Suryakumar Yadav is expected to retain captaincy until at least the T20 World Cup despite his current form.
• Hardik Pandya, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, and Tilak Varma are likely inclusions, while Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rinku Singh, and Jitesh (for Rishabh Pant) might be dropped.
