The performance of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup 2024 has been amazing so far. Even on the poor pitches of USA, Team India maintained its balance and made its place for the Super 8 by winning three consecutive matches. However, during this time the Indian batting department remained a concern. Apart from Virat Kohli, many players are facing difficulties in scoring runs. Team India has suffered a major setback during this T20 World Cup 2024. It has been decided to exclude this Indian player from the entire tournament.

This player was thrown out

  • In the T20 World Cup 2024, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar included a total of 19 players in the Indian team. In which 15 players were made part of the main squad and 4 players were made part of the reserve.
  • We are talking about Shubman Gill, who made it to the team as a reserve player, who will be dropped from the team.
  • Actually, Gill's place in Team India does not seem to be in the near future and his chances of being included in the final 15 are almost nil. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid together have released Shubman Gill and Avesh Khan from the team. Both the players will not travel to West Indies for Super 8.

did not get a chance because of this

  • In the World Cup 2024 (T20 World Cup 2024), a chance has been given to those players who performed brilliantly in IPL 2024 and impressed by consistently scoring runs and taking wickets for India in the T20 format.
  • But Gill did not live up to both these standards. Gill's batting was slow in IPL 2024. He also flopped continuously in the first few matches.
  • Apart from this, his performance in the T20 format for India was not very good. In such a situation, the selectors did not trust Gill and gave a chance to Yashasvi Jaiswal in his place.

Such has been the recent performance

  • Gill may not have got a chance in the main squad of T20 World Cup 2024, but he tried his best to prove himself in the Indian Premier League 2024.
  • In IPL 2024, he has scored 426 runs in 12 matches at an average of 38.73. During this, apart from a century, he scored a half-century with his bat.
  • His strike rate was 147.40. Gill has so far scored 335 runs in 14 T20 matches for India at an average of 25.76, which includes 1 century and 1 half-century.
