There is a lot of speculation about India’s squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup and the selectors are keeping a close eye on the performance of individual cricketers in the ongoing IPL 2024. There is a section of fans who believe that Virat Kohli can be a good opening partner to Rohit Sharma in the match. Hence, there is only one vacant spot left in the team and Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal are the top contenders. Former England captain Eoin Morgan was asked about his options and he made an easy choice given the current form of both players.

“Shubman Gill is a fantastic player who is highly rated not just here but across the world and for me has to be a contender to get on board, let alone get into the strongest XI Now, when it comes to fighting for the batting position, given the all-rounders they have, they may go for six to seven batsmen, it really depends on him or Yashasvi Jaiswal, not who he plays against The situation with Virat Kohli, for me, Virat Kohli is already there,” said Jio Cinema.

“So I mean, he’s doing the best he can. He’s managing his game. He recognizes the responsibility of being a captain and the fact that they’re two separate entities. I think that’s going to help him learn more as a captain , going forward and helping his game as well, so for me he is in competition with Yashasvi,” he added.

Gill had a solid performance in IPL 2024, scoring 263 runs in 7 games. Jaiswal, on the other hand, found himself in an extremely difficult situation, scoring just 121 runs in 7 games despite making a few good starts – a performance that might not have gone to the liking of the national selectors.
