Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill unfollow each other from Instagram
As Team India celebrates an impressive streak in the ongoing T20 World Cup in the United States, a social media gesture by Shubman Gill has sparked considerable debate among cricket enthusiasts. Recently, Gill unfollowed Rohit Sharma on Instagram, leading to speculation about discord within the team.
Gill’s action on social media coincided with reports suggesting potential disciplinary issues and rumors of his and Avesh Khan’s departure from the squad. The speculation stemmed from Gill’s reported dissatisfaction over being overlooked for playing XI selections, particularly in favor of Yashasvi Jaiswal, despite his reserve status in the squad.
Clarifying the situation, sources close to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) stated that no final decisions have been made regarding Gill and Khan’s status. Both players remain integral parts of the team, slated to participate in upcoming matches against Canada and potentially in the Super 8 stage against formidable opponents like Australia and Afghanistan.
The ongoing T20 World Cup has witnessed India’s dominance with three consecutive wins, setting the stage for an exciting journey into the Super 8s in the Caribbean. As the team focuses on their upcoming fixtures, the incident involving Gill’s social media activity continues to be a point of discussion among fans and analysts alike.
