Shubman Gill is a well-known cricketer who has millions of fans all over the world. When India did not include him in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad, it led to widespread discussion. He traveled to the United States of America along with Team India, but he hasn’t been seen at the Nassau County Stadium supporting the team, unlike Avesh Khan, Rinku Singh, and Khaleel Ahmed, who were spotted during the thrilling India vs Pakistan clash in New York.
Shubman Gill is known for his stylish batting technique and promising potential in the sport. The Punjabi cricketer has represented India in both Test and One-Day International (ODI) formats. Gill made his international debut in 2019 and he has been seen as a future prospect for Indian cricket. Gill has also been a consistent performer in domestic cricket, particularly in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The star cricketer who featured in the ODI World Cup as the opener alongside Rohit Sharma, seems to have gone through some problems with the team management. With the group stage leg in the US finishing soon, Gill and Avesh Khan were released from the squad. Rinku Singh and Khaleel Ahmed were retained in case of injury replacements. A senior BCCI source aware of the development told PTI on condition of anonymity,
“Shubman and Avesh were supposed to only stay till the group league stages in the United States. That was predecided. So, after the Ireland game, they will be released from the squad”
Recent reports suggest that Shubman and Avesh’s role was limited just to the US leg, ensuring prompt backup in case of any unexpected injuries to important players.
Some reports also suggest that Shubman will be heading back home due to ‘disciplinary issues’
Inside reports suggest that the alleged reason for the Gujarat Titans skipper not being a part of the team set up is ‘disciplinary issues’. Moreover, there are rumors that he is investing time in his side businesses away from the team.
Shubman Gill unfollowed Indian skipper Rohit Sharma on social media
Shubman fired the rumors when it was observed that his latest Instagram following does not include Indian skipper Rohit Sharma. It seems that amidst all these, he has unfollowed him on the social media platform.
A few months ago, there were reports that Shubman’s closest friend, Ishan Kishan, was removed from the Indian squad for similar reasons. However, the situation remains uncertain due to the lack of official confirmation.
