Reacting to the exclusion of Shubman Gill from India's T20 World Cup 2026 squad, ex-India all-rounder Irfan Pathan said, "Gill is a vice-captain but struggled for runs and is out of...side." "Suryakumar Yadav isn't performing either...but is in the team," Irfan added. "Two players are in the same boat. One sank, and the other has reached the shore," he stated.
