Shubman Gill’s omission from India’s T20 World Cup squad is merely “one of the hiccups” that occur in every elite sportsperson’s career and the India Test and ODI skipper will return a “better, stronger” cricketer, Gujarat Titans chief operating officer Colonel Arvinder Singh said on Thursday. Gill, who was vice-captain of the T20I side, was the most high-profile absentee when the national selectors named a 15-member squad for the global showpiece in India and Sri Lanka starting February 7. Singh said the GT skipper had accepted the decision with maturity and would respond in the only way he knows — by performing.

“These are minor hiccups that do happen in any sportsman’s life. He’s already made his stand very clear,” Singh told PTI in a virtual interaction on the sidelines of the launch of the third edition of Junior Titans programme.
“He respects the decision of the selectors. And all I can say is, knowing him, he’ll come back even stronger as you can see now in the two games that he’s played. He’ll come back even a better cricketer than what he was you know, going forward.” Gill has scored 869 runs in 36 T20Is but managed just 291 runs in his last 15 matches, prompting the selectors to revert to Sanju Samson at the top of the order.
Gill made his way back into India’s T20I set-up ahead of the Asia Cup to provide stability to an aggressive batting unit, replacing Samson.
