Shocking T20 World Cup Snub: Shubman Gill Dropped for Team Combination, Not Form
- •Shubman Gill, previously T20 vice-captain, was surprisingly dropped from the T20 World Cup squad.
- •Chief selector Ajit Agarkar and captain Suryakumar Yadav stated the decision was based on team combination, not Gill's quality or form.
- •The team prioritized wicketkeeper-openers like Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson for an aggressive batting approach.
- •Gill's recent T20 scores (28, 0, 4) and overall stats (259 runs, avg 28.77 in last 12 matches) were not exceptional.
- •This strategic shift aims for a more aggressive T20 approach, prioritizing specific roles over individual player status.
