India’s T20 World Cup 2026 squad has officially been announced — and the reactions have been loud, emotional, and divided.

In this special episode of Serving a Six Appeal, I break down India’s T20 World Cup selection with clarity and context. From the leadership choices to the balance of the squad, I explain why certain players were picked, why some tough calls were made, and how timing, roles, and fitness shaped the final list.

I also address the Shubman Gill question — the injury timeline, recent form, and why leaving him out of this World Cup squad makes sense without diminishing his long-term value to Indian cricket.
