News India Live, Digital Desk: We all were surprised as to how Shubman Gill was suddenly dropped from the T20 World Cup team? Brother, the guy who was the ‘Vice-Captain’ of the team till now, whom we were considering as the future Kohli, his name is not in the list! Now, Team India’s former batsman Robin Uthappa has raised the curtain on this suspense. And knowing the reason given by him, you may get angry as well as surprised. Straight talk: “It is not Gill’s fault, it is Surya’s compulsion.” Uthappa has said a bitter thing without twisting it. He says that Gill was not dropped because of his poor form, rather he was dropped because our captain Suryakumar Yadav (SKY) himself is not able to score runs! Now you will say, “Huh? What is the logic in this?” So the matter is something like this: Uthappa says that in the top order of any team, you can keep only one such player who is in bad form. Now the rule is that the captain cannot be kept out, whether he is out on zero or ten. Since Surya’s bat has also been silent in 2025, he has filled the quota of “out of form” players in the team. Now keeping Gill meant two players in the top order who were not scoring runs. Therefore, our ‘Prince’ Gill had to become the scapegoat. Is this injustice? Robin Bhai believes the same. He says that Gill is a class player. He has technique, big game. But the management probably wants to bet completely on Captain Surya. Uthappa also said in gestures that things work very strangely in Indian cricket. Today you are the king (vice-captain), and tomorrow you are made a pauper (out of the team). What are the fans saying now? Social media is on fire. Gill’s fans are saying that his form keeps coming and going, but it is incomprehensible to throw out such a big talent like this. Now it remains to be seen whether Gill will recover from this setback and make a strong comeback? Or will this “politics” put brakes on his T20 career?
