On Saturday, December 20, BCCI had announced the Indian squad for T20 World Cup 2026. Shubman Gill’s absence from this squad remains a topic of discussion. On one hand, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar did not give any clear answer. Captain Suryakumar Yadav said that the reason for Gill’s absence was not his form.

A few hours after the announcement of the Indian squad, Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir was seen at the Delhi airport, where he was asked questions by media reporters about the dropping of Shubman Gill. On this Gambhir left from there without replying.

This video has also become the center of discussion on social media. In which it can be seen that some media reporters asked questions to Gambhir, but he left the garden shaking. Gill’s drop is also shocking because Gill had been the vice-captain of the T20 team for the last few months.

Shubhman Gill was last seen playing in the T20 series against South Africa, where he was able to score only 32 runs in 3 innings. Due to injury, he could not play the fourth and fifth T20 matches. However, according to some reports, Gill wanted to play in Ahmedabad. But the team management had already decided to drop him from the squad.

What did Ajit Agarkar say on Gill?

Team India’s Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar said on the dropping of Shubman Gill, “Shubman Gill was the vice-captain, but is no longer in the team. Earlier, Akshar Patel was the vice-captain of the T20 team. Talking about continuity, you have to keep many combinations in mind. If your wicketkeeper will bat in the top order, Jitesh Sharma was also an option. Shubman Gill is an excellent player, it is unfortunate that he is out.”

Shubman Gill’s place in the T20 team is under question. Gill could not even open his account in the second T20 match against South Africa. Gill has not been able to score a single half-century in T20 matches this year. Gill is surrounded by criticism and the demand to bring Sanju Samson back into the team is increasing. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Subramaniam Badrinath has also talked about bringing Sanju Samson back into the team.

Shubman Gill is the vice-captain of the T20 team and ever since his return to the T20 team, there has been no clarity regarding Sanju Samson’s place in the playing eleven. Samson was earlier asked to bat in the middle order, but now the situation is that he has no place in the playing eleven.

This is unfortunate…

Subramaniam Badrinath says, “Sanju Samson has scored three centuries. We are talking about T20 cricket and he has 3 centuries to his name. What more do you want from a player? It is unfortunate to see that a good player is sitting on the bench.”

Subramaniam Badrinath further said, “He is the vice-captain of the team. I feel that only that player’s place in the playing eleven can be confirmed, who is the captain or vice-captain. He has been made the vice-captain after such statistics. If there are no back-up players, then it is understandable, but there is no dearth of talent in T20.”

On the other hand, veteran Indian cricketer Chris Srikkanth has raised questions on Akshar Patel. Srikanth said that why was Akshar Patel, a middle order batsman, sent to number 3, who could not adapt himself to the circumstances. As a result, India lost the second T20 match by 51 runs.

Injured Shubhman Gill had reached Guwahati with Team India with the hope that he would recover before the start of the second match. But later he was declared unfit by the medical team, after which he returned to Mumbai. Gill has also been ruled out of the three-match ODI series against South Africa. Gill was recently appointed the captain of India’s ODI team. The ODI series will be played from 30 November to 6 December. He can play in the India-South Africa T20 series starting from 9 December.

South Africa maintained its dominance in the Guwahati Test from beginning to end. Africa had set a target of 549 runs for Team India. In response, Indian batting was reduced to just 140 runs.

Aiden Markram took a total of 9 catches in this match, which was also the most catches taken by a fielder in a single Test match.
