Ravichandran Ashwin believes Shubman Gill deserves a T20I spot despite fierce competition from young talents like Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Priyansh Arya, and established players like Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma.
Ravichandran Ashwin believes Shubman Gill deserves a T20I spot despite intense competition from young talents like Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Priyansh Arya, and established players like Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma. Ashwin highlighted India's deep talent pool, noting that players like KL Rahul are sometimes overlooked.
Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has questioned the national selectors for not including Yashasvi Jaiswal in T20I discussions despite his consistent IPL performances. Jaiswal scored 51 off 27 balls to help Rajasthan Royals chase 223 against Punjab Kings in IPL 2026 on April 28. Chopra pointed out Jaiswal was part of the 2024 T20 World Cup-winning team but got dropped afterward, with no conversation about his return. Teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi also impressed, scoring 43 off 16 balls in a 51-run opening stand.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a 15-year-old Rajasthan Royals cricketer, hit four consecutive sixes in the opening over against Sunrisers Hyderabad, then scored a century in just 36 balls in the IPL. Social media erupted with reactions calling him 'scary good' and 'unreal,' with users comparing him to legends and valuing him at over Rs 28 crores. Despite his century, Rajasthan lost the match, and video went viral of the young star visibly emotional in the dressing room afterward.
