S Badrinath said that Yashasvi Jaiswal has delivered better performances than Shubman Gill and should have been picked in the T20I squad for the continental tournament.
Jaiswal has been one of the best batters in the world since his debut in international cricket and was India's backup opener in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 as well.
Meanwhile, Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson had opened for India consistently in T20Is for quite some time, but now Gill has made his way into the picture. Gill has been handed vice-captaincy as well, which makes him a first-choice in the playing XI.
"I see this mostly as a positive that they are backing a youngster and projecting him for the future. But what about Yashasvi Jaiswal? He has done even better than Shubman Gill. "Also, why has Sai Sudharsan missed out after scoring 700 runs in IPL 2025 and performing better than Shubman Gill? Sanju Samson himself is now in doubt to start in the playing 11."
Is this selection based on recency bias? - S Badrinath
"So while backing Shubman Gill, you ask what wrong have Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan done when their numbers are better than Gill's. Is this selection based on recency bias?
Shubman Gill hasn't even been consistently in the T20 setup over the last 2-3 years - S Badrinath
The former Indian batter further said that Gill was handed the captaincy despite being out of the T20I setup for a while because of his heroics in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
"Shubman Gill hasn't even been consistently in the T20 setup over the last 2-3 years. Yet, he has been made the vice-captain of this particular side. It is clear the influence of his excellent captaincy and performance in the England series despite that being Test cricket. So he is definitely going to open the batting with Abhishek Sharma," said Badrinath.
