Veteran opener Shikhar Dhawan said that if he was the selector of the Indian team, he would have considered Shubman Gill as his replacement.
Gill is the best player of the year in all three formats of cricket. This year, the player scored a century in all three formats and scored a double century in the ODI against New Zealand. The player has almost confirmed his place in the ODI World Cup, which will be hosted by India this year. Shikhar Dhawan’s return to the team was hindered by the presence of the star. Dhawan says Gill will definitely be given a chance to replace him.
Performing well in T20s and Tests, Gill has been playing more matches at international venues. Dhawan revealed that captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid supported him and encouraged him to focus on the 2023 World Cup. The opener added that Gill’s lack of form and consistency got him out of the team.
