‘Gill had better credentials than Iyer’: Manjrekar explains why Shubman missed out

Sanjay Manjrekar believes Shubman Gill possessed stronger credentials for India’s next T20I captaincy than Shreyas Iyer. However, Gill’s difficulty in securing a consistent playing XI spot reportedly cost him the opportunity. Manjrekar feels Gill’s long-term suitability was overlooked, with selectors opting for Iyer due to his guaranteed place in the middle order.
