Shubman Gill's most recent outing in the 20-over format was during IPL 2025. He ended the tournament with a total of 650 runs, including six half-centuries in 15 matches (Pic: File Pic)
The right-hander had ended the previous year with 266 runs in eight T20I appearances. He was appointed as Suryakumar Yadav's deputy for the T20I series in July. However, as Test cricket took priority, Gill was not picked for T20Is, and Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma emerged as India's new top three (Pic: File Pic)
On the other hand, Yashasvi Jaiswal also played his last T20I in July 2024. In the previous year, he was picked ahead of Gill as a backup opening batsman for the T20 World Cup (Pic: File Pic)
So far, having played 23 T20Is for India, the left-hander has scored 723 runs, with a top score of 100. Jaiswal, being a left-handed batsman, helps him to be ahead in the race (Pic: File Pic)
