New Delhi: weeks before the T20 World Cup team was chosen in 2024, Shubman Gill had recalled the selectors. “If they want to ignore more than 800 points in IPL, then good luck to them,” said Gill, referring to his IPL season of 890 points in 2023. Gill finally missed the victorious campaign of India. The selectors should sit in the next fortnight to choose the T20 team so that the next Asia Cup will be played in the United Arab Emirates in September with Suryakumar Yadav in charge of the team, the role of Gill will be debated. More than the Asian Cup, the selectors lengthened a wider roadmap for India’s T20 Cricket-eye on the T20 World Cup at home in February-March and beyond. You have to remember that Gill is the outgoing vice-captain. He also received the T20i vice-captain in the T20I series in Sri Lanka immediately after the T20 World Cup. It was a few months exhilarating in Indian cricket. Gill’s ascent as the first drummer in India coincided with an astonishing renewal of the team’s test performance in England. However, Indian cricket is still torn between specialists compared to fully format players with regard to the T20 team. Even in the performance of the T20 World Cup last year, there was an underlying current against the veterans Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravira will Jadeja. He reached a step where he was given that the trio withdrew from the format after the tournament. Everything was based on statistical evidence: India played the T20 cricket exceeded compared to England, Australia, the Antilles and even in South Africa. Gautam Gambhir, when he assumed the role of the head coach of India, emphasized the creation of a T20 niche team to IPL artists. Here is the challenge for selectors now. In the past year, India’s T20 Cricket under Suryakumar has been refreshing. If we are preparing for the performance of the three series in which he has led since October, India is looking to have a dried team that plays unpublished cricket. But then there was no branchy, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan in the Surya team. Gill, Jaiswal and even Jasprit Bumrah were kept for the heavy test calendar that led to an exciting series in England this month. The debate that will dominate the selection meeting is on how selectors welcome Gill and Jaiswal. The selection committee argued that players who were chosen around the last T20 World Cup should always be preferred because they have missed the format due to their test commitments. Indian cricket has generally looked at captains through formats that can respond to market forces and provide substantial brand value. That Gill has become a major brand cannot be ignored.

Should Shubman Gill be included in the T20 team for the Asian Cup?
The former India selector Devang Gandhi, who supervised Virat Kohli’s transition to an all-format captain, believes that putting the vice-captain back on foot. “Gill built the aura similar to what Virat had in 2017. Virat was treated under MS Dhoni. Gill is also at his peak as Virat. There is no reason why he does not jerk off a leadership role in T20. The message must be clear on who takes over after Surya, “Gandhi told you. “Unlike other countries, the shared captain does not work in India in the long term because you want stability in the reflection process. When you have an all prolific player leading in a format, it becomes difficult not to give him the same responsibility in the other format. Gill checked all the boxes like a paste. And he led in IPL, “said Gandhi. When the knives were against Kohli, Rohit, Jadeja and Kl Rahul, the striking rate had become the theater point. Gill is considered a player who is in the mold of Kohli and Rahul – based on conventional cricket to mark his races in T20. Gill’s IPL IPL strike rate has been around 150, if not more, in the last three IPL seasons where it has scored more than 2,000 points. Its T20i strike rate pushes 140. It must also be recognized that Jaiswal was ahead of the race until the arrival of the strong test season last year. Jaiswal scored 773 T20i points at a typing rate of 164 and an average of 36. Former goalkeeper India Deep Dasgupta, who closely followed Indian cricket as a diffuser, says that Gill must be in the departure XI. For him, the ticket office must be a flexible paste in the middle order. “Sanju Samson has succeeded. But he fought against a team from England at full power at home. It was the only series under Surya where India played an international team full resistance. Gill can play the role of Kohli who can take the deep sleeves in high pressure tournaments. He has IPL performances to support him. On slower water in water, you have to have this kind of player. Depending on the functioning of the Agarkar panel, planning will be beyond the Asian Cup. If they need to prepare a captain for the future, they will have to decide if Axar Patel is above Gill, “said Dasgupta to you. “Abhishek Sharma must start as a first game because he can kill a game when he arrives. But it is imperative that Jaiswal is in and around the team. So the management of the team must decide if Samson or Jiteh Sharma can serve in the average order,” he added. No room for Siraj in the dried bowling attack? The selectors will not have to spend a lot of time choosing the Bowling attack. Bumrah is almost sure to play most T20is leading to the T20 World Cup with Arshdeep Singh and Hhelik Pandya. For all its stellar show in the series of tests in England, Siraj does not seem to find a place in the T20i side at the moment. He has lost his place in white ball cricket from the T20 2024 World Cup. Selectors can choose an additional stimulator like Harshit Rana or Avesh Khan. Spin’s attack looks well balanced with Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar and Washington Sundar.
