Ojha, RP Singh's Bold Move: Gill Dropped, Rinku & Ishan In for T20 World Cup
- •Shubman Gill unexpectedly dropped from India's 15-member T20 World Cup squad, captained by Suryakumar Yadav.
- •Pragyan Ojha and RP Singh, BCCI selection committee members, were instrumental in Gill's exclusion.
- •Gill's inconsistent T20 performance since the Asia Cup and his impact on Sanju Samson's spot were key factors.
- •Ojha and RP Singh personally watched Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, leading to Rinku Singh and Ishan Kishan's selection.
- •Chief selector Ajit Agarkar, who didn't watch domestic matches, was reportedly a mere figurehead in the selection process.
Why It Matters: Ojha and RP Singh's active role in domestic scouting led to Gill's ouster and a stronger T20 World Cup squad.
