Shubman Gill played his last T20I contest against Sri Lanka in Pallekele in July 2024.
It is to be noted that Jaiswal last played a T20I match in July 2024. Despite that, he put up a great show in the IPL 2025, where he scored 559 runs at a strike rate of 160.
In his X post, Madan Lal suggested that T20 cricket is unpredictable and the owners should let the cricketers play freely.
The former Indian cricketer also spoke about the omission of Yuzvendra Chahal from the 17-member squad. He pointed that Chahal is a key wicket-taker for India and added that his omission is a surprise.
Madan Lal even warned the Indian selectors to not make a ‘big mistake’ by not picking Mohammed Shami for the T20 World Cup 2022.
Notably, Pant has failed to score big in the last few games he has played whether it’s an international game or an IPL game.
Lal believes that Wrridhiman Saha could be a more sensible batting option in these conditions than Pant.
Ajinkya Rahane has been receiving a lot of criticism for his poor form in Tests.
