Team India star batsman Shubman Gill No place in T20 World Cup-2026 team. Gill, who was the vice-captain until recently, has now been dropped from the team. The selectors dropped him due to poor form. Gill, who returned to the T20 team with this year's Asia Cup, failed to make his mark.

In-form wicket-keeper batsman Sanju Samson has been sidelined by the team management for him. The management kept faith in Gill despite the massive criticism. But Shubman could not keep that faith. In this order, he was removed from the team.

However, Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar made key comments on this decision taken by the selectors. Although Gill's current form is alarming, Gavaskar said that his talent will never go away.

"It's really a surprise. Gill is a quality batsman. After the T20 World Cup-2024, he has shown an excellent performance. He has scored runs in the IPL as well. But "He failed in the series against South Africa. I agree. But form is temporary, class is permanent. Gill has lost his rhythm due to long absence from the T20 format. It will take time for Gill to get used to the style of T20," Gavaskar said on Star Sports. Meanwhile, wicket keeper Ishan Kishan came to the team in place of Shubman Gill. After two years, the selectors called him.
