Rahul Dravid’s disciple left T20 World Cup 2024 humiliated, there was a sudden rift in Team India
Rohit Sharma has extended his hand towards T20 World Cup 2024. Team India is once again looking to complete the work that was left incomplete 7 months ago. By winning 3 out of 3 matches in the group stage, India has now entered the Super-8. Now the focus will be on the semi-finals. So far in the T20 World Cup 2024, the Indian team has looked united, but on Friday morning there is news of 1 player being out of the team. The special thing is that this player is considered a favorite of head coach Rahul Dravid.
These players are out of T20 World Cup 2024
- According to media reports, Shubman Gill, who is in the list of reserve players for T20 World Cup 2024, has been asked by the team management to return to India.
- The reason for this has not been revealed yet. Probably the team does not feel the need for him and hence he has been dropped.
- India already has 3 openers in the form of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal. So, the management does not feel any benefit in keeping Shubman Gill in the US.
- Shubman Gill was also present among the additional reserve players along with Rinku Singh, Khalil Ahmed and Avesh Khan. Khan is also returning to India along with Gill.
Doors closed for Shubhman
- Shubman Gill's ouster in this manner can also be seen as an insult.
- Excluding a player from half the tournament in this manner also raises many questions.
- Till last year, the 24-year-old batsman was among India's highest run-scoring openers.
- After a brilliant season of 830 runs in the IPL, it was almost certain that he would play in the T20 World Cup 2024.
- But with Yashasvi’s growing stature and Gill’s ordinary performance in IPL 2024, the doors were closed for him.
- The result was that Shubhaman, once the biggest contender for the playing XI, was dropped from the list of reserve players as well.
Shubman Gill's downfall started from here
- Shubman Gill's career started on a downhill note since the World Cup 2023, after he contracted dengue before the start of the tournament.
- After this, he made a comeback in the match against Pakistan but could not perform as expected.
- He scored only 354 runs in 9 innings of World Cup 2023.
- After this, in IPL 2024, where he was expected to score more than 600 runs, the right-handed batsman was limited to just 426 runs. This could also be due to the pressure of captaincy.
