‘Moye Moye Shubman Gill’ – Fans react as India drop Shubman Gill and bring in Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Varma makes way for Virat Kohli against Afghanistan
India has made two changes in their playing XI for the 2nd T20I against Afghanistan at Holkar Stadium in Indore. Shubman Gill has been dropped by the Indian team at the cost of Yashasvi Jaiswal. On the other hand, the return of Virat Kohli has meant that Tilak Varma would not be playing at Holkar Stadium. The Indian captain announced the same after the toss.
Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bowl first. India would be looking to extend their winning streak against Afghanistan. A win in this match would ensure a series win for the home side. For Afghanistan, the challenge would be to beat a superior Indian side in their backyard, at Holkar stadium, where India has a good record over their opponents across formats.
For India, the challenge would be to keep their momentum going forward. A win is enough for India to seal the series. But they cannot take Afghanistan lightly. Meanwhile, Virat is back in T20Is for the first time since November 2022. The star batter would be hoping to give his best performance in the match, which would be crucial for his confidence in the format.
Shubman Gill’s bad run costs him the spot
The fans are expressing their happiness over dropping Shubman Gill, who has not been able to deliver the goods in T20Is. In his appearances for India in the shortest format of the game, Gill’s scores are 7(5), 5(3), 46(36), 7(6), 11(9), 126*(63), 3(9), 7(9), 6(11), 77(47), 9(9), 0(2), 8(6), and 23(12). Barring the hundred against Sri Lanka, and 77 against West Indies, Gill has not lived up to his reputation.
Gill has not been able to convert his starts to big ones. On the other hand, Jaiswal has been called back to the side. The youngster has been delivering for India consistently in all the series he has played. The Southpaw provides the option of giving some overs as a bowler. It is handy for a side that has not been able to find as many part-time bowlers as possible. At the top, the left-handed batter is aggressive and cares less for himself.
Here’s how the fans reacted to the news –
Very dangerous side today
