The 26-year-old was not considered for next month’s T20 World Cup despite leading India in the longer formats. He has played 36 T20Is for India, scoring 869 runs at an average of 28.03 with a strike-rate of 138.59.
“My belief is that in my life, I am right where I have to be and whatever things are written in my destiny, no one can take those things from me,” Gill told reporters ahead of the first ODI against New Zealand here on Sunday.
“Obviously as a player, you have a belief that if you play in the World Cup, you will win [it for] your team, [and] you will win [it for] your country.
“Having said that, I respect the selectors’ decision and [I am] wishing the T20 team all the very best and I really hope that they win the World Cup for us,” he added.
