Shubman Gill’s Honest Opinion on Potential T20 World Cup Exclusion After Near 900 Runs Scored

The young batter, Gill, has not been in top form recently, both in T20 cricket and in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the Gujarat Titans. His performance has been underwhelming, with only 304 runs in 9 matches at an average of 38 and a strike-rate of 146.15.

Despite this, Gill remains hopeful about being selected for the T20 World Cup squad, expressing his disappointment at the possibility of not being chosen. Gill emphasized the significance of representing his country in a World Cup, describing it as a dream come true.

He also expressed his disappointment at the prospect of not being selected, particularly after his strong performance in the previous IPL season, where he scored nearly 900 runs. Comparison was made between Gill’s performance and that of Kohli, who is currently the top-scoring batter in IPL 2024, and Jaiswal, who has excelled as an opener for India in various formats, including T20Is.

It was noted that Jaiswal’s left-handed batting provides better balance at the top, and his strike-rate has also been superior to Gill’s in T20 cricket.
