Ishan Kishan is in superb form domestically. He captained Jharkhand to T20 trophy. Scored 2 100s in tournament, 1 was in final. So his return through shocking is not without merit.
TBH the team they selected is right. Gill shouldn't be in the t20 team.
Just feel the management and selectors are not in same page.
There was no need of Jitesh playing these matches. They should have kept Rinku in the team.
I think dropping Gill for WC is a brave call because BCCI/selectors/GG/Surya marketed so much about him being VC and being part of the team before 2024 bla bla bla (personally think Gill did not deserve a spot anyways just like Pant); this decision finally tell me that selectors at least admitted their mistake and corrected it in time for WC. GG is either inline with this or was forced to agree to this. Finally there is going to be consistency at opening with Samson.
Jitesh has done everything possible however Rinku was always designated finisher and they invested in him almost last two years. Ishan Kishan selection is definitely a shocker (also knowing that he has had disciplinary issues).
