Shubman Gill's golden duck dismissal in the 2nd T20I against South Africa sparked severe criticism of head coach Gautam Gambhir and selector Ajit Agarkar for alleged favoritism. Lungi Ngidi dismissed Gill first over with a 135 km/h seaming delivery caught at first slip by Reeza Hendricks. Fans demanded Yashasvi Jaiswal's inclusion, noting he was the T20 World Cup backup opener now sidelined. Captain Suryakumar Yadav also struggled, scoring five off four balls before Marco Jansen dismissed him via review. Suryakumar has managed only 227 runs at 13.35 average across his last 23 innings, with a top score of 47 not out against Pakistan.(PC: India Today)
