Shubman Gill backs his name for the ICC tournament: Rohit Sharma is scheduled to meet with the selection panel led by Ajit Agarkar to finalize India’s squad for the T20 World Cup 2024. The anticipation continues regarding the potential names in the 15-member squad.
Shubman Gill Made A Big Statement On His Selection For T20 World Cup 2024
India’s young talent, Shubman Gill, has expressed confidence in his selection, highlighting his impressive performance in the IPL 2023 season where he scored nearly 900 runs.
While speaking to news agency ANI, Shubman Gill said: “I definitely back myself to make the squad. If I don’t back myself after scoring 900 runs last season, then I don’t think there would be any point in scoring those runs. It is my dream to be able to represent my country at a world stage in a tournament like that,”
He added: “My captaincy experience has gone well. I have learned a lot of things. I think Noor and Rashid have been nothing short of magnificent for me as a captain and the team,”
For the unversed, in the IPL 2023 season, Shubman Gill scored 890 runs, including three centuries, making him one of the highest run-scorers in that edition of the tournament. In the current IPL season, he has scored 304 runs at an average of 38.00 and a strike rate of 146.15.
Shubman Gill’s statements reportedly followed a meeting between Rohit Sharma and the Ajit Agarkar-led selection panel after the IPL 2024 match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) on April 27.
According to a report from Dainik Bhaskar, the selection committee plans to finalize India’s 15-member squad during this meeting, as the International Cricket Council (ICC) has set the final deadline for squad submission to be May 1.
