Virender Sehwag Schools 'Lucky' Shubman Gill, Triggers Another 'Strike-Rate Debate'

Former India batter Virender Sehwag has suggested that Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper Shubman Gill is lucky to have his name in the travelling reserves for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the Americas.

Sehwag feels Gill should focus on scoring more runs so that he doesn't get dropped from the team in the future.
