Shubman Gill Dropped from T20 World Cup Squad: Agarkar Cites Form, Team Balance

  • Shubman Gill has been excluded from India's T20 World Cup squad.
  • Chief selector Ajit Agarkar cited Gill's recent lack of runs and team composition requirements as reasons.
  • Gill endured a lean patch in the home series against Sri Lanka, scoring 4, 0, and 28.
  • The team prioritized an extra wicketkeeper at the top, with Ishan Kishan favored over Jitesh Sharma.
  • Suryakumar confirmed he will bat at No. 4, with Tilak Varma at No. 3.

Why It Matters: Gill dropped from T20 World Cup due to recent form and strategic team composition for a top-order keeper.
