Gill Dropped: Gambhir's Call Overruled Agarkar? Uninformed Decision Shocks!
- •Shubman Gill dropped from T20 World Cup 2026 squad; decision made mid-week before official announcement.
- •Head coach Gautam Gambhir reportedly suggested dropping Gill, overriding chief selector Ajit Agarkar's opinion.
- •Gill was reportedly unaware of being dropped until the morning of the team announcement.
- •A minor toe injury was cited, but Gill was ready to play; Sanju Samson replaced him as first-choice opener.
- •Gill's poor T20 performance, especially against South Africa, and its impact on Suryakumar Yadav's form were key reasons.
Why It Matters: Shubman Gill's T20 World Cup exclusion was a pre-planned, uninformed decision, citing performance and injury.
