Shubman Gill: Team India, led by Shubman Gill, showed a great performance on the Zimbabwe tour and won the 5-match T20 series by a margin of 4 – 1.

Captain Shubman Gill played a big role in India's success, who was the top run scorer of the series. But despite this, it seems difficult for him to get a place in the Indian squad in the next series against Sri Lanka. Let us tell you what is the reason behind this?

Shubman Gill will not get a chance on SL tour

Team India's next assignment is the Sri Lanka tour, where they have to play a 3-match T20 and an equal number of ODI series.

Shubman Gill may be missing from this tour. It is being speculated that despite being the highest run-scorer against Zimbabwe, he may be dropped from the team.

In fact, Gill scored 170 runs in five innings against Zimbabwe at an average of 42.50, which also includes 2 half-century innings. But during this period, his strike rate remained under question. Gill scored runs at a strike rate of just 125.92.

Strike rate becomes a headache

Team India currently has more openers than required.

Apart from captain Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Abhishek Sharma were the options for opening batsmen. They have shown by scoring runs at a very fast pace. In such a situation, the selectors may give more preference to these players than Gill on the Sri Lanka tour. It is worth noting that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma also retired from T20 Internationals because questions were being raised on their strike rate.

Such was the performance

Talking about the performance of other openers apart from Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal was the second highest run scorer of the series.

He scored 141 runs in three innings at an average of 70.50 and a strike rate of 165.88. At the same time, Ruturaj Gaikwad scored 133 runs in three innings at an average of 66.50 and a strike rate of 158.33, while Abhishek Sharma scored 124 runs in four innings at an average of 31 and a strike rate of 174.64.
