Shubman Gill has been appointed as vice-captain of the Indian T20I and ODI side, and since then there has been lot of criticism from all corners. Gill's selection itself is being questioned over Ruturaj Gaikwad, and many have blamed favouritism and bias from selectors and other stakeholders.

Now, Kris Srikkanth has also commented on the issue and has taken a cheeky dig at Gill by giving credit to his good zodiac sign for selection. The former opener and former CSK ambassador stated that Ruturaj Gaikwad is an automatic choice for India in T20Is and he should keep scoring runs and took a dig at selectors too, that they should also recognize his performance.

Srikkanth was clearly indicating that there is some kind of bias in the team selection and Gill has been given more leeway compared to other players.

"Ruturaj Gaikwad is an automatic choice for T20Is. Rutu should score more runs and selectors should see him, because everyone is not Shubman Gill to have a good zodiac sign".
