Shubman Gill has been included in Team India as a batsman. His performance has been great so far, but hasn’t got a chance to play T20s till now. He has also shown his bat power in IPL. He was a part of Gujarat Titans in the last IPL. The captain of that team is also Hardik Pandya. After the humiliating defeat in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup, Team India is going to make a fresh start from this tour.
