Decision To Leave Out Gill Tough But Necessary In Interest Of Indian Team: Sources
T20 World Cup: It’s already been more than 24 hours since BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia repeated India’s squad for the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup, where he again called Axar Patel as the side’s vice-captain. That also confirmed that Shubman Gill, India’s Test and ODI captain, was axed from the T20I team with less than 50 days to go for the mega event to begin.
Gill’s omission capped weeks of speculation on whether his return unsettled the established opening pair of Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson. Despite making just 291 runs in 15 innings at an average of 24.25 and strike rate of 137.26, many felt Gill’s place in the squad was all but certain until Saturday’s late twist happened.
Multiple sources familiar with the matter told IANS on Sunday that the call to exclude Gill, backed to be India’s all-format leader, was ‘tough, but necessary’ in the team’s interest for winning the competition, where the Suryakumar Yadav-led side are entering as defending champions.
