Shubman Gill, who averages over 57 as an opener, didn't come to bat alongside skipper Rohit Sharma in the ongoing first ODI against England National Cricket Team. Debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal got a nod ahead of him, and it raised a lot of eyebrows.
Shubman Gill has been at his best in the ODIs as he has piled up truckloads of runs for the team in format. He has been one of the major reasons behind the team's success in the 50-over format and also opened for the team in the ICC World Cup 2023.

It’s absolutely not fair that shubman gill is always the one who is sabotaged by giving up his position as an opener.. this is ODI look at his stats as an opener dude.. and then if he doesn’t perform he is dropped.. I think this is the planning going against him. #ShubmanGill
