Amid India’s triumphant T20 World Cup 2024 campaign, opener Shubman Gill’s absence from posting congratulatory messages has stirred up speculation and concern among fans. Despite the team’s success, Gill’s lack of social media acknowledgment following India’s victory has raised eyebrows, with fans questioning his apparent silence and its implications.

Disciplinary rumors and alleged ego clash with Rohit Sharma

Reports have emerged suggesting a possible rift between Shubman Gill and team captain Rohit Sharma, stemming from Gill’s reported non-participation in team activities and his focus on personal projects during the T20 World Cup. Speculation intensified further when Gill unfollowed Rohit Sharma on Instagram, fueling rumors of discord within the team. However, sources close to the BCCI have refuted these claims, stating that Gill’s return to India after the group stage is unrelated to any disciplinary issues, as clarified by a BCCI source to MyKhel.
