Shubman Gill's T20I career finished ? Here is the latest update from sources

Tilak Varma can miss the India vs New Zealand T20I series as he undergoes groin surgery. If he is set to miss the entire series, then BCCI will have no option but to find a replacement for the batter. Who can be the replacement for Tilak Varma?

There are multiple batters who can delicately fit in the squad, including Shubman Gill, who was the vice captain of the T20I team during the India vs South Africa home series. But fresh reports suggest that the selectors may not consider the Punjab-born's name as the replacement of Tilak Varma.

The report sparked a common question among Indian cricket fans, 'Is Shubman Gill's T20I career finished?' In the last few weeks, the top-order batter missed multiple international and domestic matches because of back-to-back injuries. Apart from injuries, his form in the Twenty20 International format was also not enough for justifying his talent.
