Why is Vijay Hazare Trophy important for Shubman-Surya?

Vijay Hazare Trophy is important for both Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav. Gill and Surya's form is going very bad. Gill could not score a single T20 half-century in the year 2025, as a result he was out of the team. On the other hand, Suryakumar has been continuously flopping in the T20 format for the last two years, hence it is very important for him to get into rhythm before the T20 World Cup and the T20 series against New Zealand.
