Shubman Gill: Indian team's young opening batsman Shubman Gill is considered to be the future of Team India. However, there are other players in the team who are consistently performing well but they are not being given a chance.
Head coach Gautam Gambhir is also not giving a chance to this player, while Gill has been struggling for some time now. Team India is currently in Sri Lanka and Gill is not able to perform well with the bat there.
If we talk about Gill (Shubman Gill), he was recently appointed as the captain of the Indian team for the 5-match T20 series against Zimbabwe.
He did score runs in this series but his strike rate was around 126 and something similar is being seen in Sri Lanka as well.He could not perform well in the T20 series against Sri Lanka and could only score 73 runs. Apart from this, he was also seen struggling in the first ODI match and could only score 16 runs in 35 balls. However, even after this, he is being given opportunities continuously.

Team India's star player Ruturaj Gaikwad performed brilliantly recently but even after this he was not selected for the Sri Lanka tour. Gaikwad batted at number 3 and number 4 on the Zimbabwe tour but even after this he performed well.
Despite Gaikwad's good performance, he was made a scapegoat and dropped from the team. Gaikwad scored 133 runs in 3 innings of 4 matches on the Zimbabwe tour with an average of 66.50 and a strike rate of over 158. Even after such performance, Gaikwad was dropped but Gill (Shubman Gill) has become a part of the team and he has also been made the vice-captain of Team India.
If we look at Gaikwad's T20 career, it has been excellent. So far, he has played a total of 23 matches for Team India, in which he has scored 633 runs with an average of about 40 and a strike rate of 143.54.
During this, one century and 4 half-centuries have come from his bat.
