Shubman Gill: Fans were surprised since the announcement of the 15-member team for the T20 World Cup. Many young faces got a place in the team, but the biggest ‘shocking’ decision was the absence of the name of Shubman Gill, who had captained and batted brilliantly in the last several series.
Shubman Gill: Fans were surprised since the announcement of the 15-member team for the T20 World Cup. Many young faces got a place in the team, but the biggest ‘shocking’ decision was the absence of the name of Shubman Gill, who had captained and batted brilliantly in the last several series. Now Gill’s first reaction has come to light in the press conference before the ODI series against New Zealand, which shows his sportsmanship and maturity.
“I respect the decision”
Instead of expressing any displeasure over his being ignored, Shubman Gill said, ‘I respect the decision of the selectors. Best wishes to the team for the T20 World Cup. I am where I should be. Whatever is written in my destiny, no one can snatch it. A player always wants to give his best for the country. The decision taken by the selectors is acceptable.
This statement of Gill has come at a time when his fans were expressing their anger against the selectors on social media. Experts believe that this reaction of Gill establishes him even more strongly as a future leader.
