Aakash Chopra: ‘A non-controversy that has been made a controversy’ about Shubman Gill’s T20 World Cup release and speculations.

Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra addressed Shubman Gill’s social media drama. Reports from a few days ago that the young Indian hitter was sent back to India for disciplinary reasons. According to reports, Shubman Gill unfollowed Rohit Sharma on Instagram.

Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Avesh Khan, and Khaleel Ahmed were Indian travelling reserves. On YouTube, Aakash Chopra said:

“Non-controversy turned controversial. I found the original poster: ‘Shubman Gill unfollowed skipper Rohit Sharma’. First time. Below that was “Removed from squad.” BCCI releases Shubman Gill to India”.

After that, ‘Disciplinary issues, he was not travelling with the team and was spending time away’. Instagram showed this poster. Later, Shubman Gill wrote, ‘Sammy and I are learning the art of discipline from Rohit Sharma’. I think he’s talking about Rohit’s daughter Samaira “Chopra said.

From the start, Vikram Rathour planned this.

Indian batting coach Vikram Rathour addressed the media after the Canada-India game was dropped. A common query was concerning Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill’s apparent estrangement.

Rathour told reporters, “This was a plan from the beginning. Four players will join us in the US. We’ll release two and take two to the West Indies. As soon as the team was chosen, this plan was made. We are following the plan.”

Shubman Gill tweeted photos with Rohit Sharma and daughter Samaira to mock the reports. “Sammy (Samaira) and I learning the art of discipline from Rohit Sharma” was a social media post.
