Shubman Gill's Absence from T20 World Cup Squad Sparks Controversy
Shubman Gill, a well-known name in the cricketing world, has become a topic of discussion after being excluded from India's T20 World Cup 2024 squad. While Gill traveled to the United States with Team India, he has not been seen supporting Rohit Sharma and the team in the stadium, unlike Rinku Singh, Avesh Khan, and Khaleel Ahmed, who were present during the high-stakes India vs Pakistan match in New York.
Recent reports have indicated that both Shubman Gill and Avesh Khan will return home after the group stages of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. Their roles were limited to providing immediate backup during the US leg in case of any unforeseen injuries to key players.
However, inside sources suggest a more controversial reason for Gill's early departure. Allegedly, the Gujarat Titans skipper is being sent home due to disciplinary issues. Reports claim that since arriving in the US, Gill has not been traveling with the team and has been spending time away, possibly indulging in side businesses.
Adding fuel to the fire, Shubman Gill has reportedly unfollowed Indian skipper Rohit Sharma on Instagram amidst these events. This action has further stirred speculation about tensions within the team.
Interestingly, a few months ago, similar rumors circulated about Gill's close friend, Ishan Kishan, being removed from the Indian squad for disciplinary reasons. However, the lack of official confirmation leaves the situation surrounded by uncertainty and speculation.
