No doubt sachin is a great criketer in all forms of cricket including fun filled T20. Do you think Sachin can prove his skills in T20 if given a chance to play for indian team T20 squad.Do you miss Sachins class shots in Twenty 20 Cricket

Well not really, but it would have been nice if he was playing.
Anyway I dont mind him concentrating on other forms of cricket if that can prolong his career. We need to be mindful that he is getting old and a bad injury now can end his career. He has already had his share of injuries throughout his career, hopefully now he can be injury free and enjoy his last few years playing cricket.

I think it would be great to have Sachin in the T20 format because he still appears to be young to that format.
But on the other hand Management is trying to eliminate senior players from this format as they can give opportunities to the young cricketers.
Even though Sachin was not good in this IPL to be a part of International team.

In T20 format the class of a player, cannot be tested out to the core. The shortened version of the game, has less chance to prove the skills, and techniques. Right from the word "go" the batsmen has to slog. Making Wild swings at the ball. Some times we see a mistimed short goes for a six, and a freak throw at the stumps makes a "runout"
So to me, one cannot expect Classic style of cricket in the T20 games (Worst is that the rain affected games are , even reduced to 7 overs per side or 6 overs per side)
And so, Missing Sachin, and Shewang returning home in pretext of injury, does not matter.

Well as you said rightly sachin tendulkar is a great cricketer and that is why he is successful in all forms of the game be it test matches or t20 matches. We saw how well he played in the ipl and captained the side very well too in both the seasons. And he was one of the best batsman on display in this year's ipl. His name would often appear on the top 5 scorers list which just proves how good he is in this format of the game as well. Had this format being introduced internationally 10 years back sachin would have easily won 2-3 world cups for india single handedly. It is a treat to watch him play even in this version of the game.
