Stuck in Covid, Gill’s Punjab teammate Nikhil Chaudhary earns Australia call-up

4 min readJun 11, 2026 07:58 PM IST When Nikhli Chaudhary got stuck in Australia during COVID-19, little did he or his family back home in Punjab know that the inconvenience would eventually result in him getting called up for the Aussie T20 side in just over six years time. A former teammate of Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma and Harbhajan Singh in the state side, Nikhil travelled to Australia’s Townsville in March 2020 for a friend’s birthday, just before borders were closed. Now, the 30-year-old has a chance to become only the third India-born cricketer to have played for Australia, following in the footsteps of Rex Sellers and Lisa Sthalekar. “When Nikhil decided to play club cricket in Australia months after he was struck there, I was a bit displeased. He had played for Punjab and wanted to don the Indian jersey one day. But he saw himself growing as a professional cricketer there,” his father Sneh Kumar Chaudhary told The Indian Express on Thursday. “Right from his childhood, he was an admirer of the …

Why Shubman Gill’s strong IPL 2026 has revived his India T20I hopes

Published by Webster

In the coming days, India’s selectors will sit down to chalk a new path for the T20 team. The main discussion point would be Suryakumar Yadav’s form, with the likes of Rajat Patidar and Shreyas Iyer breathing down his neck after a good run in the IPL. The opening duo will be another point of discussion, with multiple options emerging and making it tough to select the best player from the lot. That discussion will also have a key question to answer: Where does Shubman Gill, India’s Test and ODI captain and maker of over 600 runs in IPL 2026, stand? Having become the T20 vice-captain in August 2025, his place in the side seemed settled. Yet, inconsistent form forced the selectors to drop the axe on him for the T20 World Cup, when the squad came out in December 2025.

Published by Parlour News

Sanju Samson did not need a long appeal to know what he had done. The moment Shubman Gill missed Noor Ahmad down the leg side, Samson moved, gathered and broke the stumps in one hard flash. For a split second at Chepauk, Chennai Super Kings had an old MS Dhoni memory in new gloves. Shubman Gill reacts after being stumped out by Sanju Samson. (AP) CSK needed that moment badly. They had only 158 to defend after being pushed into survival mode by Gujarat Titans’ bowlers. Ruturaj Gaikwad’s unbeaten 74 dragged them to 158/7, but the innings had been in trouble at 43/4 after 10 overs before CSK scored 115 in the final 10. Gujarat then began the chase with control, reaching 55/0 after the powerplay before Samson gave CSK their first opening. Samson’s gloves carry Dhoni’s old imprint The dismissal came in the seventh over. Noor Ahmad went full and down the leg side, Gill missed the flick, and Samson shifted quickly to his left. The collection was clean. The break was quicker. The …

2 min readMar 16, 2026 01:58 PM IST As an outsider peeking in, Shubman Gill, who missed India’s T20 World Cup triumph, has kept his hunger burning for another World Cup, the 50 overs one. Not only did Gill vamooze to France while Suryakumar Yadav’s team toiled here after he was dropped from T20, his reasons for shifting focus to the ODI challenge, is how his Indian team was denied in the finals at Ahmedabad on November 19, 2023. “That story is over,” SKY laughed talking about Ahmedabad losses, pleased with the T20 turnaround. But the story will only truly be over in South Africa in 2027. What was lost in 50 overs, needs to be reclaimed in 50 overs. And it’s Gill tasked with that challenge now. When Harsha Bhogle asked Gill if the tiny tingling thought crossed his mind often, Gill said, “Sometimes definitely the mind goes to thoughts of 2027. The ODI World Cup is the ultimate goal. We will get another crack at it in South Africa, we were very close …
