Cricket Legend Blasts BCCI Selection: Is Ruturaj Gaikwad Being Overlooked?

Is BCCI Playing Favourites? Srikkanth Questions Gaikwad's World Cup Snub

_{Neha .} _{May 2, 2024}

India's batting colossus, Srikkanth, took issue with the selection committee's decision to exclude Ruturaj Gaikwad, the captain of the Chennai Super Kings, from the team that would compete in the T20 World Cup. Despite putting up a respectable showing in the IPL 2024, Ruturaj was left out of the Indian t20 world cup team, and Srikkanth took issue with the BCCI adding Shubman Gill on the reserve list.

In his attack on the issue of "favouritism" in team management, Srikkanth asserted that Gill is given a chance despite his excellent performance. In the IPL 2024 runs scorer list, Ruturaj is ranked highest with 320 runs, while Gill is ranked 13th with 320 runs.

“Gill playing ahead of Rutu baffles me. Be is out of form and Rutu has had a better t20i career than gill. Gill will keep failing and he ll keep getting chances, he has favouritism of the selectors, this is just too much of favouritism” Krishnamachari Srikanth in his YT vid pic.twitter.com/PJmeiihxVx

"Why Shubman Gill who looks out of form is selected in the team, I simply can't understand it" . Ruturaj Gaikwad need to be in the team as well, in actuality. In just 17 innings, he scored 500 runs or more. In addition, he got a century in the match against Australia.

In Shubman Gill's instance, the Indian selectors are having a field day. Even if he fails, there is still a chance for him to succeed. Even if he performs poorly in Test ODIs and T20s, he is still in demand. Selection is highly influenced by factions. Favoritism is the only element present in the panel selection, according to Srikkanth.
