Shubman Gill’s struggles in T20Is are clearly visible now and his poor form doesn’t seem to go. The opener has struggled to score runs since the day he has joined back the T20 setup and this has also sidelined India’s top two T20I batters – Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson.
Even though Gill has been the poster boy of India but the numbers tell a completely different story especially in T20Is, since he made his comeback in September Gill has played 15 T20I innings across three countries against seven different teams but he has only managed to score 263 runs at an average of 21.92 and a strike rate of 115.56. Even in the second T20I against South Africa, his golden duck highlighted the poor slump he is in.
Following his dismal form, Irfan Pathan opined about his poor form and mentioned on X – “Shubman Gill’s T20I form is a big worry ahead of the T20 World Cup. Hopefully he finds his touch soon, otherwise it could turn into a real catch-22 situation for Team India”
Pathan highlighted that Shubman Gill’s form will be the biggest worry for India as the team is also preparing for the T20 World Cup 2026 simultaneously.

Gill has produced strong performances in Tests batting at No.4 but his white-ball performance particularly in T20 format has dipped sharply the decline now is so visible that fans and cricket experts have started to question his place in the team.
