Former Indian cricketer Subramaniam Badrinath has questioned the logic behind Shubman Gill being named as T20I vice-captain amid a string of low scores in the format. Gill's scores read 4 and 0 in the first two T20Is of the ongoing series against the Proteas.
Badrinath could not fathom why a top-order player of Sanju Samson's caliber has been dropped from the T20I XI in order to accommodate Gill in the setup. Coming to Gill again, Badrinath remarked that someone else than Gill should be made Suryakumar Yadav's deputy.
Kris Srikkanth, who was also commentating along with Badrinath during the match, echoed the latter's sentiments. He additionally went onto highlight Samson's explosive strike rate and exclaimed how the team management was clueless as to the actual reason the wicketkeeper-batter is being kept out of the XI.
