IND vs WI: 3 Deserving Indian Players Who Missed Out On A Spot In The T20I Squad
3. Ruturaj Gaikwad
Ruturaj Gaikwad is part of the ODI squad but is missing from the T20I squad. Gaikwad impressed selectors with his batting show for CSK in IPL 2021, where he finished as the highest run-getter in the tournament.
Hence, he should be given more chances in the T20I format. Moreover, he is highly likely to be benched throughout the IND vs WI ODI series, something which we saw in the previous IND vs SA ODI series.
