Shubman Gill's snub from the Indian team for the ICC T20 World Cup has not only amazed Indian fans but also some of the cricket greats. One of them is none other than the Indian genius Sunil Gavaskar.
After Gill's omission, Gavaskar seemed to have been genuinely taken aback, as he called it a shock on air when the squad was discussed. Gavaskar began by admitting he didn’t see it coming. “Not a bit of a surprise, it is a surprise.”
The former Indian captain tried to reason with Shubman Gill's lack of form in the format. He mentioned that the Indian player returned after a long layoff, and that explains his lack of rhythm, since one has to just come into the shorter format and go all 'bang-bang.'
"So the T20 format is not something strange for him,” said Gavaskar
Gavaskar opined that Shubman Gill is inclined to be more of a Test cricketer and has an intent to play along the ground. He mentioned that when it does not come easily onto the bat, then it is quite challenging to play different kinds of shots to get runs in T20s.
"Ghar pe kisiko bolo nazar utar de," Gavaskar turns on fatherly mode for Shubman Gill
When an injured Shubman Gill and captain Suryakumar Yadav returned from Ahmedabad, Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar also took the same flight and came back along with the Indian stars.
"I said that some of these injuries that he’s had have been a little freakish. And therefore you know that neck injury and then, of course, the knee injury. I said, Ghar pe kisiko bolo nazar utar de. You know, because we believe in that. We believe in ki kabhi kabhi nazar lag jaati hain,” said Gavaskar, turning his grandfatherly mode on for the Indian cricketer.
