Team India’s Test captain Shubman Gill is fixed in 2 out of 3 formats, but his position in the shortest format is not fixed. He also did not find a place in the Indian squad of the 2024 T20 World Cup.
The Asia Cup will also be in T20 format. Shubman did not play any T20 for India for the last 1 year, during which the rest of the players made it to their top order. In such a situation, the big question is whether the captain of India will get a place in the T20 team in a format?

Playing from Gujarat Titans, he scored 650 runs by scoring the last season 6 fifty last season. During this time his strike rate was also more than 155.
Gujarat also captains Gujarat in IPL Shubman is also the captain of Gujarat Titans in the IPL. He took the command of the team after Hardik Pandya left last year. In 2024, the team could not make a place in the playoffs, but this year they got the team a place in the top-4. However, the team lost against Mumbai Indians in the eliminator.
India’s T20 captaincy has also been done Shubman did not get a chance in the T20 World Cup last year, but after that tournament, India’s 3 senior players Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja retired. The next series again was again against Zimbabwe, in which Gill was handed over the captaincy of the team. India also won in the series.
After the Zimbabwe series, the team went on a tour of Sri Lanka, where Shubman was made the vice -captain. That is, the management is also seeing him as captain in white ball format. He is also the vice -captain of the ODI team, in which he is replaced. However, when India played T20 against South Africa and England, Akshar Patel was made the vice-captain.
Shubman was rested from a team of small format due to busy schedule in the last 2 series. Now the final of the Asia Cup will also be held on September 28, after which the team has to play a Test against the West Indies from 2 October. In which Shubman will captain. In such a situation, Shubman can be kept out of T20 once again in view of the workload.
Shubman’s place is also not decided Shubman Gill opens in the T20 team. When Gill was no part of the squad, Abhishek Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson took responsibility for him. The three did not disappoint this position, Samson scored 3, Abhishek 2 and Yashasvi scored 1 century.
Yashasvi also could not become a part of the last 2 series due to busy schedule. During this, Abhishek and Samson made this position their own. Samson also takes wicketkeeping with batting, so his place is being considered fixed. Shubman’s real race is from Abhishek, Yashasvi and Rituraj Gaikwad. The names of all have a century for India in T20.
Have scored a century in T20 Shubman Gill has played 21 T20s for India. In these, he scored 578 runs at a strike rate of around 140. These also included 1 century against New Zealand.
