Shubman Gill Dropped From India T20I Setup
Shubman Gill returned to India’s T20I squad ahead of the 2025 Asia Cup and was also appointed vice-captain. However, his place came under scrutiny after a difficult run in the shortest format, and he was eventually left out of the squad for the 2026 T20 World Cup.
Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi are among the options in the current setup. The BCCI has also indicated that it does not want to burden Gill with the demands of all three formats while he leads India in Tests and ODIs.
Shubman Gill Continues Strong ODI Run
Shubman Gill led India to a 2-1 ODI series victory over the West Indies and finished as the Player of the Series after scoring 334 runs in three matches. His standout performance came in the second ODI, when he scored an unbeaten 223.
“Lot of boxes ticked. I think there are still some areas that definitely need some fine tuning. I was very happy with the total. I think the game was in control,” Gill said.
Gill will now take a break while India’s T20I squad begins its five-match series against the West Indies on October 6. He is expected to feature for Punjab in the Ranji Trophy while continuing his preparations for India’s longer-format commitments and the 2027 ODI World Cup in Africa.
