Shubman Gill scored 754 runs at an average of 75 with four centuries during the England tour. Following his stellar performance, he was expected to be included in the Asia Cup. There were speculations that he might even take on India’s T20 captaincy, especially with concerns over Suryakumar Yadav’s fitness.
"Gill is a terrific batsman, all the selectors and head coach Gautam Gambhir are huge fans of his batting, and he is rated almost as highly as Virat Kohli in India’s cricket circles in terms of potential. However, he doesn’t fit into the T20 scheme of things right now" a BCCI source told TOI.
Shubman Gill in Fine Form but Asia Cup Spot Not Guaranteed
Shubman Gill's form in the short format is not a concern. He scored 650 runs in 15 matches at an average of 50.00 and a strike rate of 155.88, including 6 half-centuries during IPL 2025. The Gujarat Titans (GT) captain might still not have done enough to guarantee himself a T20I spot.
Meanwhile, Tilak Varma has cemented his place at No. 3 with back-to-back centuries against South Africa. With India’s top order firing, Gill has to wait for a chance.

Shreyas Iyer’s place in the squad is uncertain despite being in good form. The middle-order batter led Punjab Kings (PBKS) to the IPL 2025 final. Iyer was India’s leading run-getter during their Champions Trophy win earlier this year, scoring 243 runs across five matches.
